Unpub 10 Postponed!

Amid concerns for our friends and families in the Unpub community, and with regards to COVID-19, we want to update you on the status of Unpub 10. We spoke with the Unpub 10 venue yesterday and have decided to postpone Unpub 10 to August 20 - 23, 2020.

This decision was not made lightly and we know that it may affect plans that designers, playtesters, publishers, and sponsors may have made. Our utmost concern is for the safety of those involved in the event and that is why we are making these changes as early as possible. 

We plan to have all of your favorite Unpub events, including the Designer Mixer, Feedback Frenzy, panels and all 4 playtesting blocks. This does not however come without some changes. 

In order to accommodate this new date, we will not have access to the ballroom until 7pm on Thursday 8/20. We are looking for alternatives to allow those arriving on Thursday the chance to begin playtesting as soon as possible.

As you know, Unpub is a small organization and we knew there was risk of potential fees when we began to discuss adjusting the date with our venue. While we would have no issue covering these additional costs to ensure everyone in our organization (including you) was as safe as possible, we are very grateful that Marriott worked with us. They not only provided multiple options but also waived all fees associated with these changes. We have been very lucky that they are working with us so that we do not have to outright cancel.

In addition to the date changes, the hotel has provided all of us a lower nightly rate than originally quoted. The new rate is $139/night. Links and codes will follow soon. If you have already booked with the hotel, you will need to cancel that reservation and rebook with the new information once it is available.

If you are not able to attend based on the new dates, we will be sad you aren’t there and are providing 2 options for you:

You may request a full refund of the purchase price for your Unpub 10 table(s) before June 1, 2020.

You may cancel your Unpub 10 table(s) and roll the reservation over to Unpub 11 for the same blocks.

Unpub 11 is scheduled for April 29 - May 2, 2021

Thank you for your understanding during this unforeseen event and we look forward to seeing you all in August!
