21st Annual Conference
CANCELLED
Wednesday & Thursday, May 6-7, 2020
Lansing Center
Lansing, Michigan
After many days of monitoring the global health crisis, discussions, and negotiations with our venues, the MATCP Board of Directors has made the decision to, unfortunately, cancel our 2020 Annual Conference, scheduled for May 6-7 in Lansing.
We will not be rescheduling this conference, and instead look forward to our 2021 Annual Conference, already scheduled for March 2-3, 2021, at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. Due to the earlier time frame for 2021 Conference, registration for this event is anticipated to open around early December 2020. Fortunately, most of our national and local speakers have already committed to our 2021 Conference, so we hope to present an Agenda in 2021 that mirrors our intended 2020 Conference Agenda.
Fundamentals Training, May 5, 2020 - CANCELLED
MATCP hopes to reschedule the Fundamentals Training for September 2020 in Lansing, date TBD. Any registrations to the May 5th Fundamentals will be automatically cancelled, and if payment was already received, a full refund will be issued.
Private Partners are important year-long partners. However, if a Private Partner purchased any additional registrations for Private Partner representatives above and beyond those included with their sponsorship, those will be refunded.
Vendors will have their registrations automatically moved over to, and any payments already made will be applied to, our 2021 Conference (this includes Vendor fee, any additional Vendor representatives, and any AV services purchased). However, any Vendors who would NOT like to have their registration and payment rolled over to the 2021 Conference should contact us atinfo@matcp.org, and we will process the refund. Any requests to NOT be rolled over to the 2021 Conference must be received by no later than June 30, 2020; otherwise, MATCP reserves the right to retain your vendor payment in full and not issue a refund.
Attendees (including Speakers, Board Members, and Volunteers) will be automatically cancelled, and if payment was already received, a full refund will be issued.
Scholarships - 2020 Conference Scholarship recipients will have their scholarship transferred to the 2021 Conference. Please note that due to the transferring of 2020 scholarships to the 2021 Conference, there will be no additional 2021 Conference Scholarship Application period this fall.
Hotels - Attendees are expected to cancel their own hotel rooms at any hotel other than the Radisson or Hyatt Place. Please note that many of the hotels have hard deadlines for cancelling without penalty, so it is recommended that you do so asap.
Legislative Reception scheduled for evening of May 6th is CANCELLED.
As a reminder, the MATCP office is closed during the 'Stay Home, Stay Safe' period, and we are working remotely, but if you have any additional questions about cancellation of this conference, or any other questions related to MATCP and Michigan treatment courts, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your continued support of Michigan's 188 treatment courts, their participants, and MATCP, and, in turn, we look forward to continuing to educate and advocate for you.
