TPI Moves Aug. 16-18 Aspen Conference to Charlottesville Oct. 16-18, Amid COVID-19

The Technology Policy Institute is the latest organization in media, technology and telecom to reschedule an event due to COVID-19. TPI moved its annual conference from Aug. 16-18 in Aspen, Colorado, across the country to Boar's Head Resort in Charlottesville on Oct. 16-18, we were told this week. It's one of the farthest out on the calendar events to be rescheduled due to COVID-19.

The change is because of "ongoing uncertainty about the feasibility of travel" by August, emailed TPI President Scott Wallsten Tuesday. "The Democratic Convention is now scheduled for that weekend, and we don't want to compete with that."

The Democratic National Convention Committee said April 4 it rescheduled the 2020 Democratic National Convention to the week of Aug. 17 in Milwaukee.
