STPCon 2021 – COVID-19 News

Once again, we are faced with a surge of COVID 19 cases to a level where people are either uncomfortable in a crowd or employers are hesitant to support a conference where employees could be at a higher risk for exposure to the virus.

Based on feedback from our community including STPCon Alumni, speakers, and sponsors, we have made the decision to cancel the fall conference which had been scheduled to take place September 27 – 29, 2021 in St. Louis, Missouri.
