WordCamp Asia 2020 Cancelled

[Cam]

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.

I don't know who is familiar with WordCamp, but it is a big event that WordPress hosts for developers, blogs, webmasters, and more to mingle and learn new tips and tricks related to WordPress. They host major WordCamp events across the globe, with Asia being a major one. WordPress recently decided to cancel the conference, due to the growing concerns of the coronavirus.

WordCamps depending on where you go are huge but it’s not surprising that everyone is cancelling events nowadays due to the virus outbreak.

WordCamp Asia is fairly new-ish but WordCamp US, WordCamp EU and WordCamp London are the big ones. We’ll have to see if they get cancelled too.
