The Industrial Fasteners<br />
Institute (IFI) has scheduled its<br />
annual spring meeting for March<br />
6-9, <strong>2021</strong>, in Scottsdale, AZ.<br />
Managing director Dan<br />
Walker acknowledged the IFI<br />
would normally have celebrated<br />
its 90th anniversary at its spring<br />
meeting, but he anticipates<br />
attendance “will be hampered<br />
by virus fears,” so the 90th will<br />
be marked during the October<br />
3-5, <strong>2021</strong> meeting at the<br />
Peabody Hotel in Memphis.<br />
Walker said he is hopeful the<br />
COVID situation “will be under<br />
control” by October and “our<br />
attendance is suitable for the<br />
celebration.”<br />
If necessary, the spring<br />
meeting will be switched to<br />
virtual, Walker said.<br />
The 2020 autumn meeting<br />
had been planned for Memphis<br />
was held in virtual format<br />
instead.<br />
The IFI also conducts<br />
automotive and aerospace<br />
division meetings and memberonly<br />
training events.<br />
