15. March 2020:
Dear friends, colleagues, speakers and sponsors.
With our deepest regret Nordic Technical Meeting is cancelled! Due to the global Covid-19 crisis we follow the guidelines from the government.
Though the meeting was planned to be held in two months from now, we had some very important deadlines from Hotel Tivoli. With that in mind and an unknown future regarding the global crisis and an economic risk for the Danish Master Brewers Association we had no other choice than to cancel the meeting.
But this does not mean that there won’t be a meeting. Next year hopefully around the same time in May. We would like to see you all for the Nordic Technical Meeting.
On behalf of the Danish Master Brewers Association and the steering committee for the meeting. I will thank you all for the willingness and great support related to the meeting and all the work around it.
Stay safe until we meet again.
Best Regards
Allan Poulsen
Chairman
