This article was originally published on this site
Due to the recent COVID-19 concerns in the region, Matt Mullenweg has decided to cancel WordCamp Asia 2020.
While we regret that we will not see you in Bangkok this time, we hope you understand that the organising team is standing by this decision to ensure the safety of all WordCamp attendees.
We don’t have any specific plans for the next WordCamp Asia at the moment but are hoping to hold it in early 2021. We will make announcements as soon as possible.
We have also been asked to evaluate the possibility of an online event in replacement of this cancellation. We believe our efforts are now best focused on making the best arrangements necessary to assist all affected participants. We will not be able to organise an online event.

We will be sending out an email to everyone who purchased a ticket with a link and instruction for requesting a refund.
In addition, we will provide a free ticket for the future WordCamp Asia event to anyone who registered for this event (even if you request a refund).
Hotel and Air
Please cancel your hotel and air bookings if they are fully refundable.
We will be working with hotel officials to clarify their cancellation policy to those who made a booking at our official hotel. We will share updates soon, no action on your side is required at the moment.
If you have trouble refunding your flight and hotel without fees, please use this letter.
Sponsors
We thank the sponsors for supporting us through this difficult period. We’ll be contacting the sponsors directly with details on how we’ll be handling the sponsorship funds.
We regret the inconvenience caused. The organising team would like to do our best to help you with any difficulties you face in an effort to rearrange your plan. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
