In light of the increased concerns over large gatherings and the recommendations of the CDC regarding COVID-19 in the US, the WordCamp Kent organizers have decided to move to a 100% online event this year.
We considered other options, such as postponing or canceling, but we believe we can provide an exceptional experience for attendees.
The plan is to stick to our original date of May 30-31. We are still in the process of working out the logistics of the online event, however, we have full faith in our team’s ability to improvise and pull together to make this a fulfilling and fun conference for you.
We are in the early stages of changing the format and determining how exactly it is going to look for attendees. Over the next week, the organizers will be working with WordCamp Central to determine what we need to host a successful online event in coordination with our speakers, volunteers, and sponsors.
We will also be re-evaluating ticket pricing which at this time is still to be determined. Over the next week we’ll be posting more details so please subscribe for updates if you haven’t already. You can also keep in touch with us on Twitter and Facebook.
Your patience and understanding are much appreciated. The WordCamp Kent organizers are looking forward to hosting you for a great event in May!
