#RWOT10, scheduled for Buenos Aires on March 16-20 has been cancelled. We deeply regret this necessity, but our local hosts let us know that the Argentinian government is now advising against meetings of 10 or more people if they involve foreign travelers. 1/6

This is a worldwide response to COVID-19. Conferences such as F8, Geneva Motor Show, and MWC Barcelona have already been cancelled. Whether we consider the concerns valid or overblown, the international environment had made gatherings of this sort impossible at this time. 2/6

We have built reserves over the last few years for a problem like this, so as not to impact the future of RWOT. We will refund all event tickets. If you are a small company or individual and the cancellation of your plane tickets is unduly impacting you, please let us know. 3/6

We will be holding further discussions on: what to do if you're still going to Buenos Aires; whether we'll be holding a virtual meeting on the event days; and any strategies for seeking refunds with airplanes.

We are already planning an #RWOT11 event, which we plan for Northern Europe in late September. We are seeking sponsorship for this event and to rebuild reserves. We have not yet finalized plans, but watch for more information in the next week. 5/6

We deeply regret the cancellation of RWOT10, especially since we’re well aware that people have already made plans and purchased tickets. This is our first such cancellation in four-and-a-half years. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you this fall. 6/6
