After much deliberation, the EMAT Board of Directors has made the decision to push the 2021 Conference & Workshop out to August 9-11, 2021.  This pushing forward of the date will allow our members to have some extra time to work on the more critical issues involving the Covid-19 testing and vaccinations.

Registration for both Attendees and Exhibitors remain open. as does the Call For Papers.

We feel this was the best decision for all concerned.
