***2020 Event Cancelled***
​
It is with deep regret that Synergy CME Resource Group has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Integrative SIBO Conference (SIBOCON) April 3-5th, 2020 in San Diego, California, due to the evolving worldwide COVID-19 outbreak and local guidance provided by the San Diego Public Health Committee, CDC and the World Health Organization.
The potential for a rescheduled meeting or other educational format will depend on many factors, including the projected duration of the outbreak, conflicts with other meetings, hotel availability and other logistical and financial factors. Next steps will be decided as more information becomes available and we will notify everyone that registered for SIBOCON.
​
We will be working with our merchant services to begin the refund process of registrations and exhibitor sponsorship's. You may receive an e-mail or call directly from one of our staff members in the event we need to personally request information to process a refund.
​
We understand this is upsetting news, and we appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work through many questions. We recognize that the cancellation decision will inconvenience our attendees, exhibitors and presenters attending SIBOCON from all over the world. If you have already booked your flights and hotel reservations, you must contact them directly for a cancellation/refund.
