I'll try to take a proactive approach by doing my own digging, where
is what I have found, and few other proactive thoughts which might help:
The latest update posted on the LSFMM page from March 2 states things
are moving along as planned. After that on March 4th officials from the
county made a trip to Coachella Valley (22 minutes away from the LSFFMM
venue hotel) "to quell public fears about the spread of the novel
coronavirus", and announced that "there are no plans to cancel any of
the upcoming large events like Coachella, Stagecoach and the BNP" [0].
So, hippies are still getting together.
How about our brethren?
If we have to learn from efforts required to continue on with the in
light of the risks, we can look at what SCALE 18 is doing, taking place
right now in Pasadena [1], their page lists a list of proactive measures
required on their part to help alleviate fears and just good best
practices at this point in time.
The landscape seems positive, if we want, to move forward in Palm Springs then.
When are attendees supposed to get notifications if they are invited?
Since the nature of the conference however is unique in that it is
world-wide and invite-only it makes me wonder if the value is reduced
because of this and if we should cancel.
Does the latency involved on the confirmation of attending decrease
the value due to the current haphazard situation with COVID-19?
I am involved in other conferences and am seeing personal driven
cancelations for general concerns. For folks in the US it would be
easier / less risky to travel, so my concerns would be less than others.
But -- would we have higher personal cancelations from EU folks? What
are folks thoughts on this right now? Is anyone in the EU not coming
at all due to concerns who wouldn't mind voicing their concerns even
if LSFMM continues?
And then there is the other question: can we cancel? Or is that
economically just too late at this point?
