Dear prospective participants
We greatly appreciate your time, patience, and effort with respect to the ICAPC 2020 long sought by many scholars, which was scheduled to take place from August 6th in Seoul, South Korea. We were very much looking forward to being there with you.
Sadly, based on the tremendous dangers and worries on the safety issue displayed by recent COVID19 incidents, we feel it is inappropriate, at this time. To have this long-planned international conference. Therefore, the ICAPC 2020, for the good of all, but to detriment of all, will not take place this time.
It was a great chance for international scholars and counselors to build up wonderful dialogues. Someday, I look forward to meeting you in Seoul. In the meantime, I want to thank you for the interests shown to us by sending us inquiries, proposals, and for our invited speakers who were openly and eagerly preparing for this conference. That was very much appreciated.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to write to us. Thank you again for your cooperation.
Sincerely yours
Ingyu Kim
President of the Korean Counseling Association 
참여자분들께,
8월 6일부터 대한민국 서울에서 열릴 예정이었던 국제연차상담학술대회에 보여주신 많은 학자분들의 성원과 인내에 감사드립니다. 학술대회가 열리기를 고대하고 있었지만 최근 코로나 사태로 인하여 참가자 분들의 안전에 대한 충분한 위험 인지를 바탕으로, 유감스럽게도 예정되었던 시점에 국제대회를 개최하는 것이 적절하지 않다고 판단하였습니다. 이에 따라 ICAPC 2020은 모두를 위하여, 모두의 아쉬움을 뒤로 남긴 채 올해 개최되지 못하게 되었습니다.
이번에 예정되었던 회의는 국제 학자들과 상담자들이 만나 좋은 대화의 장을 열 수 있었던 기회였습니다. 이 기회가 언젠가는 다시 서울에서 열려 여러분들 모두를 만나뵐 수 있기를 희망합니다. 또한, 저희에게 문의 및 프로포절을 제의해주신 참가자분들과, 초청 연사분들이 보여주신 관심에 감사를 표합니다. 그 한분 한분의 관심이 저희의 회의를 만들어가고 있었음을 잊지 않겠습니다.
취소와 관련하여 더 문의사항이 있으시면 저희에게 이메일 주시기 바랍니다. 다시 한번 여러분의 협조에 감사드립니다.
한국상담학회장 김인규 드림
