Hi Jaesuk, Both of those options sound like great opportunities to do a Ceph Day Seoul. I think the main question is whether July is too soon for a Seoul event. It looks like COVID-19 may be peaking but it's a bit early to tell. Assuming things improve over the next few weeks I'd be all for moving forward with one or the other option. Do you have a preference which one? sage On Thu, 20 Feb 2020, Jaesuk Ahn wrote: > Dear Everyone, > > This is Jaesuk Ahn.
