UPDATE 13 March 2020: Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, IIBEC has suggested that any near term planned events be postponed, or cancelled. IIBEC has cancelled the 2020 International Convention and Trade Show in Houston, Texas that was scheduled for the end of this month.
​
The Canadian Prairies Chapter will be taking a similar route by postponing this Lunch ‘n Learn until a later date when it has been deemed acceptable to do so.
