LHPW 2019 was moved back to October, this time the 25th through the 27th.  We moved to the Crowne Plaza - Atlanta Airport where we were greeted with smiles and open doors.  We lost attendance from 2018, with the change in location, but still more registered than for our inaugural 2017 event.  The event was cozy, and amazing!

Even though there were hopeful signs during 2021 that the COVID-19 pandemic was easing it's grip on the world, the Foundation Board did not feel it was safe to move forward with an event.  So many of our historians and attendees were in high risk demographic categories.  Age, immuno-compromised, underlying health conditions...  The risk of losing someone was too high.  Another year without LHPW.

LHPW 2020 was in the works, contract for the hotel was signed, historians were lined up, and then the worst pandemic in a century struck.  We hope and prayed for a miracle to happen, but it wasn't in the cards.  To keep our community as safe as possible, the Foundation board made the responsible decision to cancel LHPW 2020.

In 2022, we saw increasing rates of COVID-19 vaccinations and reducing numbers of cases.  The outlook was favorable for our event being late in the year.  After SELF and other events moved forward, and developed attendance polices requiring vaccinations or proof of negative test results within 72 hours of the event start, we felt the risk was acceptable, and LHPW 2022 happened.

And, we are incredibly proud that due to our No Vaccine, No Entry, No Exceptions policy, not one, single case of COVID was reported by any attendees following our event!
