careful review of the current circumstances and the possible
developments of the COVID-19 pandemia we came to the
conclusion that we can not held the event as planned. At the
moment it would be unrealistic to conduct the event in a
face-to-face format in fall 2020 here in Berlin. We as the
sponsor and all those who want to participate and would have
to book their trip in advance would be left with the
cancellation costs.</font></font></p>
