We shall rearrange for the conference
to take place in Bucharest in September 2021.
The decision has been taken following
discussions with EDXC contacts at the French Service of Radio Romania
International and the Ciao Romania travel agency.
Further rationale behind the
decision
Although the lockdown in Romania will be gradually lifted from
May 15th, including some air connections, further details on how Romania will
come out of lockdown will take place in July.
It is unclear as to
how the European Union borders will be operating in September. It may be that
citizens from countries who have failed to contain the virus successfully (e.g.
the UK and others) are not permitted to leave their country nor allowed enter
certain other countries.
Events including
conferences and festivals may not be permitted in September in Romania (and
elsewhere) due to physical distancing requirements.
Restaurant and
tourist attractions may not be open.
Most importantly,
we would not want to hold a conference that our members do not wish to attend
for fear of their and others' health.
We hope that you
agree it is far better to plan to hold the EDXC conference in Bucharest in 2021
instead, in what will hopefully be safer environment with a better
atmosphere.
Stay safe and keep in
touch,
