[OR_Archaeology] SHPOlooza and Oregon Heritage Conference Cancelled

[FRENCH Jamie * OPRD]

Hi Everyone,

Below is an announcement our office issued last week.  Some of you may remember that the Oregon Heritage Conference was where we were hosting SHPOlooza this year.  In light of these events our office is currently discussing how to move forward with the SHPOlooza either in the fall or next year.  Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

In light of the developing COVID-19 situation, we regret to inform you that the Oregon Heritage Conference is being canceled. We made this decision based on recommendations of Oregon Health Authority and the Governor. The health and safety of our attendees and staff are always our top priority.


Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through this decision. We are sorry to miss this opportunity to build Oregon's heritage network and support Corvallis' local economy. For those who have already registered, we will be processing a full refund in the next few weeks. If you have any questions, please contact Kuri Gill<mailto:kuri.gill at oregon.gov> at 503-986-0685.


Lodging cancellations can be made through Courtyard by Marriott<https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/eugco-courtyard-corvallis/> (541-753-0199) or wherever you booked your lodging. Please make sure to let them know by March 31.

In order to still support heritage organizations, here are plans under consideration:

  *   Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards to be held in the fall with the Downtown Excellence Awards
  *   Latinx Heritage Networking Session - in conjunction with the Oregon Heritage Summit in 2021
  *   Online presentations of some keynote speakers and sessions
  *   Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Main Street Network, Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries, and MentorCorps meetings will be announced at a later time.

We hope to see you in The Dalles, April 29-30 2021 for the Oregon Heritage Summit and in Corvallis for the 2022 Conference!
