Great to hear, thank you so much Liz! Tom Kerkhove Azure Architect at Codit, Microsoft Azure MVP

I’m happy to sponsor, and have updated the PR to say so. As a comment on the process - personally speaking, the recommendation from SIG Runtime was super-helpful and fwiw I found it helpful to

I've heard of numerous tech vendors banning travel, including across the US. Same for big banks. I fear that the current issue may be one of insurance liabilities.

If twitterverse is any indication, several key people and companies appear to be pulling back. Thus, providing a backup plan sooner than later would also help reduce anxiety. I am not sure how the

Dan, Let's discuss plan B. It may not be possible to have an event at all. Instead it may make sense to disseminate the information through articles, blogs, interactive content. And then provide

That's also an option if we could choose to get a refund. Example, KubeCon is my last conf for next few months as we are expecting. If it gets rescheduled then I won't be able to join. Another thing

Hi all, Why not just postponing the event (like everyone else is doing)? Virtual conferences might be ok for content/talks, they are totally meaningless for developing new business (as a sponsor,

That makes perfect sense. The question is, do folks get a refund? While virtual is great alternative, I don't see myself spending 4 days watching videos if I may be honest as well. So ideally it
