I really wish I didn't have to make this announcement, but in
light of the COVID-19 outbreak and with an abundance of
caution, the D Language Foundation and Symmetry Investments
have agreed to cancel DConf 2020.
Though it's possible that things will have cleared up by June,
we can't be sure that will be the case. We don't want to put
members of the D community at risk if things are not cleared
up, or risk travel disruptions for those who do register and
make travel plans. We decided it's better to cancel earlier
rather than later to minimize the number of people who will
need to cancel or rebook their travel arrangements.
Personally, I was really looking forward to heading to London
and seeing everyone again, but I do agree with the decision. We
hope not many of you will be impacted by the decision and we're
terribly sorry if you are.
Sad to hear this but hopefully people can work something out with
an online conference.
