The WordCamp Jacksonville organizers convened today and had a lengthy conversation on moving forward with our event scheduled for the last weekend in March. Our decision was extremely difficult and honestly has left us completely broken-hearted. Due to our concerns over health and safety, we have decided to cancel WordCamp Jax 2020.
Over two thirds of our speakers were traveling from outside the Georgia / Florida area which is a huge risk for all involved. We had some recent speaker cancellations and, as the event gets closer, we fear we would not be able to provide the solid event you deserve.
We would like to thank speakers, sponsors, volunteers and attendees for supporting our community.
Full ticket refunds will be processed shortly. Please stand by while our team makes this one final pivot.
It is our intention to come back with a vengeance next year. We look forward to seeing all of our friends in 2021 when the dust settles.
Sincerely,
WordCamp Jacksonville
Very sorry to hear this and completely understand your decision. I’m sure it was long thought out and hard to make, but the responsible one to make.
I look forward to next year.
