As you know, ECTA Autumn Meeting in October is coming up soon. Because of the success of the June virtual meetings, the uncertainty of the global health situation and possible travel restrictions in October, as well as your feedback obtained by our recent survey, the ECTA Management decided to hold the ECTA Autumn Meeting this year in an online format.
The physical Autumn Meeting in Ljubljana (SL) will be postponed to 2021.
 
During the June virtual meetings, ECTA and its members have proven to be flexible, adaptable and ready to face challenges and changes and we are looking forward to welcoming the Council/Supervisory Board and Committee meetings again in a virtual format. The meetings will be held during the week of 19 to 23 October 2020, while the exact schedule of individual meetings will be communicated at a later date.

Apart from the regular meetings, we are also working on some new webinars and will hold a virtual social gathering in the afternoon of 23 October 2020. Please book this date in your calendars!
 
During the social gathering, we will have the ECTA Award ceremony, raise the glasses for the ECTA 40th birthday and hold a celebratory competition. In this regard, we are inviting all ECTA members to prepare a congratulatory message on the occasion of ECTA 40th birthday in any format (e.g. short video, picture, text, drawing) and send it at ecta@ecta.org by 15 September 2020. The Board of Directors (formerly known as Management Committee) will select the best of the best to be shown during the virtual celebration ceremony. The winner will be granted one (1) year of free ECTA membership! (*the prize is not redeemable in any other form). GDPR rules will be respected. We hope to see all ECTA friends at this event.
 
We wish you and your families good health and endurance and look forward to seeing you in person again soon.
