UPDATE 4/27/20: In light of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International has announced that all previously scheduled in-person June standards development meetings (including independent meetings) have been canceled. Earlier this month, ASTM International announced the cancellation of all May in-person meetings.

These decisions were based on several factors, including, but not limited to:

• Continued review of information and recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and other governmental bodies
• Input from ASTM International members whose organizations are increasingly concerned with travel
• Monitoring the expanding trajectory of the coronavirus

Staff managers will be contacting committee leaders to plan alternatives for conducting committee business. Sleeping room reservations made in the ASTM Group Block for May and June 2020 Committee Week will automatically be canceled by the Boston Marriott Copley Place and the Washington Marriott Wardman Park hotels. Attendees staying at other hotels are responsible for cancelling their own hotel reservations.
