Cancel conference this week?

[HollyBollyBooBoo]

Got a conference for c100 people this week, surely need to cancel now due to new variant of Covid?

Feel very strongly that given it's nothing business critical and people are travelling from all over UK we should cancel. Any thoughts?

I would, especially as it's not critical. Not worth the risk and I have always been more on the relaxed side in regards to covid (no bleaching of the food shop here!).

Is this your decision to make? Can you afford to?

I would cancel.

I've organised it but would need exec to agree to it but think I'm going to recommend it, just not worth us becoming a super spreader event, would never forgive myself.

I would. They will probably be relieved it’s cancelled.

Can it be turned into a virtual event? I’d do that if possible. As PP said, people would probably be relieved.

Postponed thank goodness! No new date we will just see how it goes in the New Year.

I was at a conference (virtual) last week. All conferences in European countries have been cancelled. The ones in the UK are now all virtual.
