>We understand you're probably not thinking much beyond the next few weeks or months, but we're still planning Southwest Fox 2020 on the assumption that the current crisis will be over by November. In light of that, we're extending the speaker submission deadline to Monday, April 13. If you have something to share with our developer community, read the Call for Speakers document (http://www.swfox.net/CallForSpeakers.pdf) and then use the Submission site (https://geekgatherings.com/Submission) to send us your session proposals. We look forward to your ideas.

Hi, Doug,

Just curious (and I've been asking other conference organizers the same thing), have you given any thought to a virtual conference?

Three SQL Server user groups here in the Mid-Atlantic (associated with PASS) have gone to a virtual model.
Obviously, there are things you can't do as well (or at all) in that model, but it does open up some other possibilities.

Just personal opinion, I think the assumption the crisis will be over by November is extremely optimistic. Hopefully the trends are downward before then, but I have a feeling many will still be very cautious about large events for a long time.
