TEA postpones Summit, Thea Awards and SATE Europe as coronavirus continues to spread
– Jennie Nevin, COO of The TEA
The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) has announced that it will postpone its upcoming TEA Summit and Thea Awards Gala, as well as the SATE Europe conference in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The TEA Summit – originally meant to take place at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California between 16-18 April 2020 – has been rescheduled for 9-11 July 2020.
"This date change was made in the best interest of TEA members, event participants, and our industry. Around the world, our communities, lives and businesses are being disrupted. All are facing health concerns, financial setbacks, travel bans, venue closures and general uncertainty," said TEA COO Jennie Nevin.
"TEA leadership is in discussions to determine how best to serve our members and fulfil our mission in the coming months. We look forward to a time of recovery in the near future."
SATE Europe, originally meant to take place in May this year at PortAventura in Spain, has been rescheduled for May 2021, with official dates to be confirmed closer to the time.
"The TEA extends heartfelt thanks to all those involved in creating and supporting the TEA SATE Europe Conference - organisers, sponsors, speakers, delegates, volunteers, staff and the host venue, Port Aventura. Your hard work and dedication benefit the TEA community and the industry at large," said Nevin.
