The premier annual conference for the US structured finance industry in 2021 has been postponed by two months in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Structured Finance Association said Friday that its yearly gathering will now take place at the Aria resort and casino in Las Vegas from May 2 to 5, 2021 - a move from the original dates of February 28 to March 3, 2021.

Earlier this year, the industry group canceled its SFCanada 2020 due to the virus outbreak.

"We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, board, and member institutions and look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas in person next year,” SFA chief executive Michael Bright said in a statement.

“However, out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our members, attendees, and staff in mind, we felt it best to adjust the dates of SFVegas 2021 to help ensure a successful event," he said.

SFA held its annual conference at the Aria back in February with more than 8,200 participants, representing over 370 companies.
