Update COVID-19

ko:mon 2020 will not take place

Dear loyal and long-time ko:mon friends, dear customers, prospective customers, professional planners, business partners, speakers, exhibitors, employees and forces of the hotel team,

the whole world is currently facing unprecedented challenges.
The severe restrictions of our everyday life bring about major changes in many areas of our working and private lives.

The information situation on diseases caused by the corona virus SARS-CoV-2 and their pandemic development is highly dynamic.
This situation makes a continuation of the event planning for the ko:mon unfeasible.
We are consequently making the difficult decision to cancel the congress this year.

Agenda and topics as well as contracts with speakers and partners are almost completely defined.
However, due to the many imponderables, it is impossible for us to continue with the necessary preparations, marketing measures and ticket sales.
We experience experts whose opinions complement each other, contradict each other, are modified, changed and rejected again.
Incisive measures are taken, to be tightened soon afterwards.
What seems sensible and suitable today may already be outdated tomorrow.
Based on this, we as organizers as well as our hotel team cannot guarantee a binding planning for the ko:mon.

We ask for your understanding for this procedure.
Our hope is that all of us, in solidarity and together, will overcome this difficult time and hopefully emerge strengthened as a society from this unprecedented crisis.
