Quick note about #CSUNATC20 and refunds:

CSUN CoD is a small training org inside a university that funds itself -- ta-da! -- by running a conference.

Understand that this may (already?) be a severe to existential threat to the conference and/or the center.

THREAD
I know it sucks to walk away from a $500+ registration (much less a sponsorship). But the coronavirus is out of their control.

There are also LOTS of attendees who are 50+ and/or have respiratory/immune conditions.

And Disneyland is next door.

It's a bad situation.
Conferences have sunk costs like program guides, websites, rentals, IT support, swag, wifi, etc.

They also usually have a quota of room nights/food & beverage. CSUN will now struggle to meet such a quota.

It doesn't take much to turn this from a small profit to a HUGE loss.
