Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Webmaster Conference
Thursday, March 12, 2020
Last year we organized
Webmaster Conference
events in over 15 countries. The spirit of WMConf is reflected in that number: we want to reach regions that otherwise don't get much search conference love. Recently we have been monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and its impact on planning this year's events.
To wit, with the growing concern around coronavirus and in line with the travel guidelines published by
WHO
, the
CDC
, and other organizations, we are postponing all Webmaster Conference events globally. While we're hoping to organize events later this year, we're also exploring other ways to reach targeted audiences.
We’re very sorry to delay the opportunity to connect in person, but we feel strongly that the safety and health of all attendees is the priority at this time. If you want to get notified about future events in your region, you can sign up to receive updates on the
Webmaster Conference site
. If you have questions or comments, catch us on
