GEST Asia 2020 Postponed

The Board of Course Directors and Advisors have been closely monitoring the current health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although case numbers are decreasing in some countries, others are in the middle of devastating crisis with increasing patients. Travel restrictions are still in place in many countries. The situation remains uncertain and it is difficult to foresee how the situation will evolve over the next months.

As a result, and our highest priority to protect the health of GEST faculty, delegates, staffs, suppliers, and exhibitors, the Board has decided that postponing the meeting was the only responsible course of action. The next GEST Asia will be held in Tokyo, in November 2021. Once we confirm the new dates, we will post it on our website.

We highly appreciate all the work and efforts to support this conference and apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to contact us at gestasia@gestweb.org should you have any questions.
