2021 Convention Registration Packet

June 15-17, 2021 JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort #opengatesopenminds

2021 Cattlemen’s Convention & Allied Trade Show Potential Impacts due to Marriott’s COVID-19 Guidelines

While FCA Staff and the volunteer leaders of FCA, FCF, FCW & JFCA look forward to seeing you all at Marco Island for the annual convention there are a few things we would like to bring to your attention. As has been the case for over a year, guidelines and procedures for gatherings continue to be everchanging due to COVID-19. At the time this packet was printed Marriott’s corporate leadership require that guests wear a mask and practice social distancing when in the resort’s common areas (hallways, lobbies, foyers etc). They also will only allow us to seat 6 at a table for our 3 large plated meals, instead of the normal 10 per table. This will potentially limit the amount of meal tickets we will have available for the Youth Appreciation Luncheon, Cattlemen’s Supper, and Cattlemen’s Banquet. Since these tickets will likely sell out in this “first come, first serve” scenario, we recommend that you get your registrations in quickly, and that you purchase full registration packets if you would like to attend these meal functions. We have been given the greenlight to sell all 170 Tradeshow booth spaces, however Tradeshow Attendance might be limited to a set number of people at one time. As mentioned above these are the guidelines set forth by Marriott Corporate at the time of this packet’s printing. There is certainly the potential for these restrictions to change by the week of Convention in June. We may be able to expand to 10 people per table, and have unlimited access to the tradeshow during tradeshow hours, however we can only present the information we have currently. The resort has certainly been more than willing to take all of your room reservations, and the Marriott Staff is enthusiastic about hosting FCA this year.
