| <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">In light of the World Health Organization raising the threat level about the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, we have decided, after much consideration, to cancel the following events:</span></p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.apachecon.com/usroadshowdc20/index.html" target="_blank">Apache Roadshow/DC</a>, scheduled for 25 March 2020</span></li> |
| <li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.apachecon.com/chiroadshow20/" target="_blank">Apache Roadshow/Chicago</a>, scheduled for 18-19 May 2020</span></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Note that the <a href="https://www.apachecon.com/searoadshow20/" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Apache Roadshow/Seattle</a>, scheduled for 10-12 June 2020, has been <b><i>postponed</i></b>.</p> |
| <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">The safety of our event attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff is of the utmost importance. We are committed to minimizing our global community’s potential health risk, exposure to border health inspections, and increased travel restrictions.</span></p> |
| <p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Event organizers will be in contact with delegates regarding further updates.</span></p> |
