Hypersonics 2020 Has Been Cancelled

Dear Hypersonics 2020 participants,

It has come to our attention that on February 29, Le Westin Montréal sent cancellation communications to those with conference hotel reservations. The decision to cancel the conference had not been made by CASI and AIAA when the hotel sent these messages via SMS.

We are sensitive to the worldwide concern regarding the coronavirus infection, and we have been closely monitoring the situation. CASI and AIAA have now made the difficult decision to cancel the 23rd International AIAA Space Planes and Hypersonics Systems and Technology Conference – Hypersonics 2020, that was to be held 10-12 March in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

CASI and AIAA will provide you with updates as they are warranted. Information we can provide as of right now:

• All paid attendees’ registration fees will be automatically refunded via the original method of payment.
• It is the responsibility of each participant to cancel his or her hotel room. If you made your reservation at Le Westin Montréal, the hotel will take care of this and you need not take any action yourself. If you have any questions, please contact the hotel directly at 514-380-3333.
• Please contact your airline as soon as possible as CASI and AIAA cannot be responsible for costs associated with travel
• For authors with accepted papers, AIAA will contact you regarding next steps.

We apologize for any confusion, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Geoff Languedoc at CASI or Tobey Jackson at AIAA.

Sincerely,

Geoff Languedoc, Executive Director, CASI

Dan Dumbacher, Executive Director, AIAA
