After considerable discussion between the Executive Committee of ASPP and the Congress Organizing Committee in Tunisia, and after considering all the parameters associated with Covid-19 pandemic and its potential effect on the congress participants and their families, it was decided to postpone the congress until 31 October-5 November, 2021. We would like to bring to the attention of participants the following points:

• The new congress date is October 31-November 5, 2021.
• The congress venue will remain Hotel Le Royal, Hammamet, Tunisia.
• All submitted abstracts will be transferred to the new date, unless participants send an apology letter to the Organizing Committee indicating that they will not be able to attend the new date, or they prefer to send a new or revised abstract. New submissions will also be accepted.
• The email address for the congress will continue to be info@acpp-aspp.com

The Congress Organizing Committee will soon announce new dates for new abstracts submission, or registration through the congress website. Participants are encouraged to follow all congress news on the congress website. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this postponement which was imposed on us by conditions beyond our control, and very much appreciate your kind understanding. Looking forward to meet you all in the fall of 2021 in Tunisia.
