We are also watching this and how it progresses and for any specific travel bans or
advisories. Besides overall consideration, your specific concern are those coming from
China and not being able to attend; is that correct? If someone is no longer allowed to
attend, we can of course refund them.
In the extreme case, there is language in our contract that potentially covers this should
we find the need to cancel. Potentially, because it’s never black and white as we can’t
cover every possible scenario.
We can discuss more on tomorrow’s call if needed.

Absolutely - I wonder if it's worth someone
talking to the hotel now just to get their thoughts on it, and start sounding them out to
see if there's a possibility to reschedule it without losing a load of money? It
can't hurt to ask, as I'm sure they must be seeing bookings slow down...
Rescheduling Cephalocon would be a major organizational headache - the
hotel is the least significant concern to myself, but the attendees that
have already booked and paid for flights, visa,
etc.
If we reschedule, we'd end up rescheduling to next year in Canada. I
don't think it'd be realistic to reschedule in 2-3 months in Seoul.
