The NAPA 401(k) Summit will move its time and place in 2021, banking that a bit more time for a potential COVID vaccine to take effect will result in a more successful event.
“As you know, the 2020 NAPA 401(k) Summit was rescheduled, and eventually transformed into the Cyber Summit,” the organization said Monday, referencing its virtual event last September. “While it was difficult to be distanced from friends and colleagues, we appreciate your support through it all!
“Though we are not out of the woods yet, as we approach a new year, and with promising news of COVID-19 vaccines on the horizon, we’re excited for 2021. So, to ensure a successful and healthy event for next year, we’re moving the 2021 NAPA 401(k) Summit to Sept. 12–14, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.”
The 2020 event was originally scheduled for its usual spot in the spring, with it’s popular “After Dark” entertainment to take place at Universal Studios. COVID forced a move to September, and ultimately the fully online Cyber Summit, with plans to return to the live event in 2021.
“Things are starting to look up,” NAPA president-elect Alex Assaley said in a video announcing the Summit. “The presidential election is mostly behind us, the new year is right around the corner, and we’re continuing to get promising news about COVID vaccines and therapeutics. While we still face some challenges and hurdles as we get through the end of this year …and we have promising news moving forward, we know it will take a lot between now and then to ensure it is a happy, healthy, and successful event for you and the advisors across the country. For that reason, we feel it’s the right thing to do.”
