I hope you can weather the storm without too much personal hurt. As much
time and effort as you have put into the event and the pride we are have
for such events, this is not a critical event in the grand scheme of
things, but I am sure some people will lash out as if it is/was.? Ignore
them if you can.
I put an incredible amount of time into this event,
and have for the last
three years. Right now the mission is to get the word out and try to make
it easier for the people who have been impacted. (Plane tickets, travel
reservations, vacation time, etc.) I chose to cancel than postpone because
we really don't know how far this goes. Perhaps in a few weeks we'll know
more, but there are other considerations too including other events (not
necessarily ours) that we don't want to conflict with.
I was a bit surprised that it was not a "postponed until further
notice", but postponed versus canceled is probably equivalent in the
short term (people need to deal with plane tickets, unbook hotels, etc.
in the same way)
