The Florida Chiropractic Association (FCA) has rescheduled its signature convention and expo, The National, from its original Aug. 27-30, 2020 date due to rising COVID-19 case counts in Florida and elsewhere over the past several months. As of press time, The National will be held Nov. 5-8, 2020, at the original event location, the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
In making the announcement, the FCA emphasized that a virtual component will also be available for this and future association events to accommodate those who cannot join the event in person: "[F]or those who feel 2020 is too soon to attend any event, we still ask you to join us this year as we offer our first-ever virtual component to conventions. This virtual option will be available with every event for the foreseeable future."
