The past few weeks and the COVID-19 outbreak have made tremendous changes to all aspects of our lives, shifting our focus to health and wellbeing, while slowing down our work and living pace. All that matters now is keeping yourselves and your loved ones healthy and safe.
Being faced with this unprecedented situation, we took the time to find the best way for Techsylvania 2020 to take place, being mindful of the safety of our attendees, speakers and startups coming from all over the world, as well as our partners that make this event a reality.
With this in mind, we have decided to reschedule Techsylvania 2020 to September 20–23, hoping that by then we will have overcome this difficult period. As our vision is to accelerate the growth of the regional technology ecosystem by bringing together the most inspiring founders, successful investors and innovative technical experts, we’re looking forward to making this happen in a safer and ideally better context for everyone involved.
Until then, a major part of our attention is directed to finding solutions for this hard period and helping the medical staff deal with this situation in the best way they can.

What does the new date imply?
The new Techsylvania date doesn’t bring many changes to the event, but we’ve put together a series of what we foresee to be frequently asked questions in this period:
Techsylvania 2020 has been rescheduled. Why and when?
The new dates are September 20–23, 2020. Due to growing concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19), and with the well-being of attendees, partners, and staff as the number one priority, Techsylvania has decided that rescheduling the event is the responsible course of action at this time. This decision was made after consulting with the local government, partners, and staff, to whom Techsylvania would like to express gratitude for their understanding, patience, and continuous support.
I have purchased tickets for Techsylvania 2020. Are they still valid?
Yes. If you purchased tickets to Techsylvania 2020 prior to the date change, they are now valid on September 22 and 23.
I have purchased tickets for Techsylvania 2020 and I can’t attend the rescheduled event. What is the refund policy?
Our standard cancellation policy applies in this case, also:

I have already booked my hotel and flights for the event in June, will I be reimbursed?
