The Marine Fabricators Association (MFA) Board and Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) have announced that the 2021 Marine Fabricators Conference, which was to be held in New Orleans in January 2021, has been cancelled. The MFA Board and IFAI leadership staff made the decision to cancel the in-person event based on the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the results of a survey sent to members, exhibitors and past conference participants gauging the interest of meeting in-person in January. Plans for the 2022 conference are currently underway with an announcement expected soon. The 2023 Marine Fabricators Conference will be held in New Orleans, La.
