<div class="">Good morning everyone,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The current COVID outbreak does not appear to be abating and the likelihood of it impacting our ability to run the conference is very high. The Board has decided that in the interests of the event and everyone who attends it, that the conference
should be rescheduled. </div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The conference venue has confirmed that with the large amount of space we require they could only accomodate AusNOG on 1 other pair of days this year. We have committed to those dates and AusNOG 2021 will now be held on<b class=""><i class="">
8 & 9 December.</i></b> It will still be at the Fullerton Sydney and will still be a traditional in-person event.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We hope that those of you who have registered will be able to attend on those dates. If that isn't possible, please request a refund of your registration through Eventbrite (using the details included in your registration). As this is COVID
related you will receive a full refund, including the payment processing fees that are normally withheld by Eventbrite.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you have booked accommodation with the Fullerton, please contact them directly and they'll happily change your booking to the new dates or cancel it as is necessary.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For those of you in the impacted areas, stay safe. I hope to see you all on the revised dates this December.</div>
