Operative words
Unfortunately the state of Colorado and the city of Aurora have recently put additional restrictions in place that will not allow us to continue with an in-person event, and we don't anticipate those restrictions changing much this year. The decision was made unanimously this morning by the ATA officers to move MCE to a virtual event. (ATA President Chris Spear, letter to members, July 28, 2020)
