The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association has cancelled its annual conference and trade show in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

IDDBA was scheduled to take place May 31 to June 2 in Indianapolis, which the U.S. Surgeon General said was one of the emerging hotspots for COVID-19 cases.

This made it "painfully evident that continuing to plan the show puts the health and well-being of those we serve and our partners at risk," said IDDBA president and CEO Michael J. Eardley in a note published to the non profit's website.

Registration and exhibitor fees for IDDBA 2020 will be refunded, and exhibitors will have two options:
• Full credit toward IDDBA 2021
• Full refund of fees paid to IDDBA for IDDBA 2020

IDDBA 2021 is tentatively set for June 6 to 8 in Houston.
