The coronavirus has now brought significant changes to CoinFest this year. Despite our extensive preparations, sponsors and exhibitors from places like Italy and Washington State will not be able to travel. Health officials are also recommending against very large gatherings in Europe and North America.

As a result, events in Vancouver and Manchester will be drastically scaled down, this year. However, events in Africawhich has not been as severely affectedwill continue as planned. Postponed events will return in the fall of 2020. Stay tuned for updates regarding new dates and the new status of CoinFest Vancouver and CoinFest UK.

It is looking less likely each day that we'll be hosting even something small in Manchester on April 3/4/5, still working on plans but some people who were
adamant that they were still coming to Manchester after we postponed the main event have also now pulled out.

We were thinking some smaller events focused on the specialities of the people still attending and focused around their ideal audiences

We have canceled our events in Vancouver for April completely... we probably will not even meet at our local crypto hack space. I recommend taking drastic measures in the UK, as well, which seems to be getting hit hard.

We are working to have an event in Decentraland, though... we just have to build our virtual clubhouse, first. If we can get it done in under two weeks, it would be great if you guys joined us online.

More than happy to join - Unsure on the logistics but happy to work it out! I want to see if we can host a few virtual events for all the groups involved in the UK event to chat and discuss ideas for the re-scheduled dates - It will be good to see how it works.
