"Almost all of our attendees and vendors are interested in continuing
the show, which means the show will go on. We have made significant
financial and operational commitments in reliance on attendee which has
not waned. Out of an abundance of caution we have put in place many
safety protocols to minimize the likelihood of COVID-19 and/or other
infectious disease transmission.
Since the show is continuing, we must stick to our stated policies of
not offering refunds. We have already made financial and operational
commitments in reliance on your participation in the show, and that
means we have to stick to our policies. I hope you can understand."
INTERPRETATION: WISPA can not cancel this show no matter what, because
we need the income to pay for the show, which is already reserved. We
most likely don't have event insurance either. So while we understand
your concerns, we are extremely sorry but there's just no way we can
refund your money and we are going to expose everyone who comes to an
ever increasing risk. Please understand, money comes before safety.
