But the delta variant has since imposed travel restrictions that forced AFM to go online-only as it did in 2020 due to theAFM 2021 Online will now be held from November 1 to 5 as it shifts one day earlier than its original dates. This year’s online market plans virtual industry offices and screenings, among other events.
