[Answerland-summit] Presenters, registration & scholarships

[Lori Moore]

Hi Natalie,
I agree that it might be difficult to get folks to register at this time.
Now that we’re starting to hear 8 weeks or more for schools etc, that could
affect us even in May.

Will the money transfer over to next year? We could use cancelling as a
good way to make next year better.

I’m also a little torn on this but I lean towards cancelling, just to be
safe and avoid spending time and money if things are still dicey then.

Hope you all are safe and healthy!
Lori
