Over weeks, we have been carefully monitoring the advancing outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19). All of us at Explorance and the University of Strathclyde place the utmost importance on the health and well-being of our customers, partners and employees.
As the unfortunate news continues to develop, with the increasing number of coronavirus cases in Europe, we have made a joint decision to postpone Bluenotes Europe 2020 until October 21. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause with regards to your travel plans. However, your registration fees and room reservations (with the conference hotel) will be automatically applied to the new conference date.
Thank you for your support, and we deeply appreciate your understanding. Please do not hesitate to contact us at amurray@explorance.com should you have any questions.
