WordCamp Montclair 2020 Cancelled

I regret to announce that the WordCamp Montclair 2020 team has decided to cancel this year’s event. Not completely knowing the gravity of the COVID-19 / coronavirus pandemic in early April, we first tried to postpone for October. After seeing many WordCamps even as far out as November going virtual or canceling, I put it to a vote and the team decided it best to cancel our 2020 event.

I’d like to thank everyone that contributed their time, talents, and money to this event. Our amazing sponsors who generously wrote large checks to help fund all the activities we had planned. All of the high-quality speaker submissions we received for presentations and workshops. All the folks that bought tickets believing our event was worth the cost of entry. The volunteers at WordCamp Central for their time and guidance. And, of course, the volunteers that made up our amazing organizing team. You all stepped up and got things done with energy and enthusiasm. I cannot thank you all enough.

While this is disappointing, I’m hoping to lead this event again when it is safe to do so. When that time comes, I’d be grateful to have the level of support and excitement everyone showed for WordCamp Montclair 2020.

To all sponsors and ticket purchasers, we are in the process of working with WordCamp Central to refund your money. If in a week or so you do not receive a refund, please let us know via our contact form and we will investigate.

Thank you again, and please stay safe.
