Just wondering if the Homebrewcon is being impacted by the virus concerns or the recent tornado damage in Nashville?  Hoping it is still a go, but I could understand the AHA making hard choices under the circumstances....

We are certainly monitoring the situation with the COVID-19 virus closely and are working with the Gaylord (Homebrew Con host hotel) and the city of Nashville.  As of now, we have no plans to cancel Homebrew Con, and I am very much looking forward to meeting members in Nashville in June.  We'll have additional information posted to the HomebrewCon.org website within the next few days.

Tornado was just North of Opryland Hotel.  Sad times as many lives were lost. We recently rebuilt here and tornadoes are an awesome force from Mother Nature. If you haven’t been to the hotel, it is really beautiful. They recently rebuilt from a massive flood a few years back. Nashville is a great place to visit.

Can we expect an update in the next couple days?  Not to be all gloom and doom, but based on the plan set up by the City of Nashville, the math doesn't seem to work out for this to happen?

They are probably waiting for the venue or city to cancel, so they can back out without repercussions (deposits, down payments, etc).

Nope.

Gary told me last week that he hoped to make an announcement one way or the other early this week,

Thanks Denny.  Either way, I don't think I can make it this year...wife got furloughed.  Hoping she's back soon but who knows these days.

The official 2020 cancellation e-mail popped into my inbox.

I got it as well this morning and cancelled my hotel reservation.

Not surprised.  Wonder if they'll be able to get Nashville back on the schedule for 2022.

Look for 2023, next time in the middle of the Country.

The coming rotation is West, East, Middle.

The Email said the 2021 HomebrewCon will be in San Diego CA at the Town and Country. Contracts are done far in advance to lock in the dates at the venue. West was a done deal. East may be far along.

Yeah.  It's probably too late to change up the rotation since bookings happen so far in advance.  Looking forward to Nashville whenever it happens. I wasn't able to attend this year regardless, but I'll (hopefully) be able to do it in 2023!
