Important PacSurf 2020 Update

Dear PacSurf 2020 Community,

We hope this finds you all healthy and staying strong during these very challenging times. In the wake of rapidly changing and unprecedented circumstances surrounding the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the PacSurf 2020 Program Committee has been forced to cancel the AVS Pacific Rim Symposium on Surfaces, Coatings and Interfaces (PacSurf 2020) scheduled for December 6-10, 2020, in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

This was not a decision made lightly, or without significant deliberation, but the health, safety and well-being of the PacSurf 2020 global community is our highest priority. So, in the face of increasing concerns, travel restrictions, and with the guidance of governmental and health agencies, the decision was compelled and required. If you have any questions, please contact Della Miller, della@avs.org.

Save the 2022 Date:
PacSurf 2022 is scheduled for December 11-15, 2022, at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, 69-275 Waikoloa Beach Drive, Waikoloa, HI  96738. The call for abstracts details will be sent in spring of 2022 and we hope that you will consider resubmitting an abstract at that time.

Submitted Abstracts:
Contributed authors to PacSurf 2020 are invited to submit their research to PacSurf 2022 when submission opens in spring of 2022. Invited speakers are being contacted individually with options.

Sponsors:
If you signed up to be a PacSurf 2020 sponsor, we will contact you soon to discuss an immediate (100%) refund.

Hotel Cancellation:
If you made a hotel reservation using the PacSurf 2020 group block online reservation link, please contact the hotel directly to cancel your reservation. If you booked outside of the PacSurf 2020 block at another hotel or with a third party (i.e. booking.com, Expedia, etc.), please cancel those reservations directly with the booking party. Don’t forget to do the same with any airline or other transportation reservations.

Please stay safe and healthy and we will provide another update soon.
