As a result of concern and uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus, the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the parent organization of AIA, has cancelled The Vision Show and Conference on June 9-11, 2020, in Boston, MA, USA.

A3 notes in an announcement that the situation remains dynamic, but it was important to reach a determination early to provide clarity to exhibitors and attendees. This decision was made after consulting with the AIA Vision Show Committee (made up of exhibitors) and the association boards of directors.

“We didn’t make this decision lightly, but the safety of our visitors and exhibitors is our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution, we felt it best to cancel now,” said Jeff Burnstein, the president of A3. “It’s unfortunate because The Vision Show has grown into one of the marquee events of the vision industry. The Vision Show will be back – and it will be stronger than ever.”

To help fill the void left by The Vision Show, A3 is planning an online Vision Conference later this year, providing the latest information on new vision technology, advances in integration solutions, and practical use cases that can be implemented immediately.

A3 also announced that the Autonomous Mobile Robot Conference and the International Collaborative Robot Conference, which were to be collocated at The Vision Show, are postponed until fall 2020 and that details will follow.
