Summary: We’re cancelling Feral Vector 2020, and thinking about ways to bring the festival online this year.

The global pandemic has had widespread effects on future planning. After looking at government plans and advice, talking to our venues, and weighing up whether we could organise an event we’d be happy with whilst being able to do it safely, we have decided to cancel Feral Vector 2020.

Hostel ticket holders will all receive a separate email about refund and deferral options.

We’re deeply sorry to those of you who have already booked transport and accommodation. We can only hope this hasn’t caused too much disruption and cost.

We are also saddened and sorry we won’t be able to hold the event this year. We hope you can appreciate our position, and our reasons for cancelling.

In place of the physical event, we are looking to hold a virtual version of it online. We are still formulating ideas for what this will be. We are also looking at what it would take to publish previous years’ talks. If you have ideas or suggestions, we’ll be opening up our submission system soon. We are aiming to hold this online event around the original dates of May 21st – 23rd, and we’ll endeavour to keep you posted about via email and Twitter: @feralvector

We hope you all have a safe and comfortable time at home.
