SEE 9 Postponed Due to COVID-19
by Fergal Cunningham 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Dear colleagues, Following the escalation of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Europe and across the world, we’ve decided to postpone SEE 9, which was scheduled to take place from 7-8 April in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This was a difficult decision to make but necessary as the health and well-being of attendees and organising staff remain our top priority. We also feel that the meeting itself would be more useful and enjoyable if it takes place once the current situation has been resolved. We would like to thank everyone involved in the organisation of the event for their support and guidance. We are currently working with all event partners and hope to announce new dates for SEE 9 in the future. If you planned to attend SEE 9 and have made arrangements, please remember to cancel your flights and/or hotel if you will no longer visit Ljubljana. For all RIPE NCC-organised events, we will keep you informed about new developments via email and the RIPE NCC's Coronavirus Update page: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/coronavirus-update Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Acting Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC Jan Žorž SEE PC Chairman
