2020-05-01 - 2020-05-03 | DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina, 200 Marina Blvd, Berkeley, CA, 94710, United States
Instead of an in-person conference this spring, CANA will be presenting its first ever Web Conference on Saturday, May 2, 2020. Click here for details.

The California Association of Nurse Anesthetists (CANA) has been actively monitoring developments related to the evolution of COVID-19 and is responding to the public health mandates not to hold meetings in California. In light of these developments, we needed to POSTPONE our CANA Spring 2020 Meeting (formerly May 1-3 in Berkeley). Instead, CANA will be hosting a Web Conference on May 2 (see link above for details) and the CANA Spring Meeting in Berkeley will take place next year on May 7-9, 2021 – please save the date. The next in-person CANA meeting will be our Annual Fall Meeting on October 16-18, 2020 in Redondo Beach, CA, and details will be coming in Summer 2020.
Please note that hotel and travel cancellations to the Doubletree Berkeley Marina for May 1-3, 2020 should be made by each attendee individually as soon as possible.
We are in the process of reaching out to all registered individuals directly to offer a refund or transfer of your registration fee to a future meeting. For an immediate refund, or with any questions, simply email in**@*****nc.org or call 415-610-8499 and a member of the CANA staff will assist you.

[CANCELED] AANA 2020 Mid-Year Assembly
2020-04-18 - 2020-04-22 | Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown,, 999 9th St. NW, Washington, DC, United States
Update as of March 13, 2020 — “The AANA has been actively monitoring developments related to the evolution of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To assess its current and potential impact, the association has assembled an internal task force to consider guidelines provided by the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state and local health organizations.
Given the latest health advisory in the Washington, D.C., area, the AANA Board of Directors has cancelled the 2020 Mid-Year Assembly, scheduled for April 18-22. Registration cancellation fees will be fully refunded, and hotel reservations made within the AANA hotel block will be cancelled. Participants are encouraged to contact their airline directly regarding ticketing. As we work to figure out next steps for Mid-Year Assembly programming, we will be in touch soon with more information.
Please direct any questions pertaining to your Mid-Year Assembly registration to me******@**na.com.

Update as of March 11, 2020 — The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 crisis a global pandemic. This unprecedented move will impact population health and our normal way of life for months to come. The California Association of Nurse Anesthetists (CANA) is responding to the pandemic by limiting COVID-19 exposure opportunities. This means canceling unnecessary travel and large gatherings and meetings.
The CANA Board has informed the AANA that CANA will be withdrawing from the conference given the pandemic. Member safety was (and remains) central to our decision. In addition, several CRNA employers have issued domestic and international travel bans prohibiting CRNAs from attending these events. Most of the CANA leadership is impacted by an employer ban, leaving few unaffected attendees. There is also a high probability that legislative offices will close or refuse appointments until the virus is adequately contained.
For any further updates about Mid-Year Assembly, please watch for communications from the AANA or visit the AANA website: https://www.aana.com/meetings/2020-mya
