                         2020 Instructors Conference

                         Postponed to 2021



                         Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our nation,
                         IEC has made the difficult decision to postpone the IEC
                         Instructors Conference to July 2021. It will still be held
                         at the Eaton Experience Center in Pittsburgh. While
                         this is a disappointing turn of events, we believe it is
