Dear all,
It’s with regret that we have to inform you that due to the global health situation (COVID-19), the physical meeting of the Wikimedia Summit 2020 and related side events in Berlin have been cancelled.
Since we currently look into hosting the Summit in a series of virtual meetings, starting at the dates of the Summit, please keep the dates blocked in your calendar.
We are aware that this announcement will cause many questions (not only in relation to the Summit). Please be patient, more information will follow from our teams in the next few days.
Best regards,
Abraham Taherivand, Executive Director Wikimedia Deutschland
Katherine Maher, Executive Director Wikimedia Foundation
Unfortunate to see it cancelled but probably the right thing to do. Let's hope the virtual meetings manage to make up for some of the loss.

Thank you for informing the global community of this. More importantly, thank you for recognizing that the safety and well-being of the global community should take precedence over a meeting. This is the way to "walk the talk" about community safety.

Hi Abraham & Katherine,
We understand the decision and it is for the general safety of not just the participants of that meeting, but the communities they represent as well.
To Everyone,
There is a wiki page that was shared to us in one forum and we wish this page be collaboratively expanded for any events that may require remote access.
