Canceling Product Impact 2020
After consulting our speakers and some of our attendees, we are canceling Product Impact 2020.
Reason for Canceling Product Impact 2020
The world is experiencing an outbreak of the coronavirus. In addition, New York City officials announced the Coronavirus Outbreak Will Spread in New York City.
We don’t know what April 01, 2020, looks like, however, we are prioritizing the health and safety of our speakers and attendees.
Thank You to all the attendees who purchased a ticket, the scholarship applicants, and our speakers. Our speakers are awesome Michelle Chu, Katelyn Bourgoin, Marcie Walker, Erin Essex, Bianka McGovern, Mubashar Iqbal (Mubs), Tremis Skeete, and Henry Bruce.
The alternatives
We considered moving Product Impact 2020 to an online-only event. After all, we were selling online-only video tickets. Again, after talking to our speakers, we decided not to.
Firstly, when I came up with the idea for Product Impact 2020 “learn by doing” was the theme of the event. I even wrote about:
- Behind the scenes,
- The thesis behind Product Impact 2020,
- and I was recently writing a FAQ section.
Next Steps
I will be reaching out to all the attendees to offer them a refund.
Thank You
Seriously from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me in this journey even before the announcement for Product Impact 2020 was made.
The good news
We may be canceling Product Impact 2020, however, we are not out. We are planning other amazing upcoming things.
Finally
Since I first announced Product Impact 2020, I have learned so much about organizing a conference. I plan to write some articles around this and my approach to writing a talk/ workshop.
This is not goodbye.
Thank you to all the supporters.
With lots of love.
