US ABS East conference postponed to December
Another major gathering for the US asset-backed securities industry has been postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 26th annual ABS East conference will now take place on December 1-2 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach resort in Miami Beach, Florida, organizer IMN said on Monday.
The annual industry conference, which draws more than 4,000 attendees, typically happens in late September or early October.
IMN said the upcoming ABS conference is a "hybrid event format" that features online and in-person elements. This will allow "the potential to go entirely digital, should conditions dictate."
The conference postponement is the latest for the ABS industry.
The Global ABS 2020 securitization conference will be held online in September. In the past, structured finance participants had flocked to Barcelona every June for this annual event. nL8N2DH4H0
