ZK2020 Event Cancellation

In response to the continued, varied, and ever-changing physical distancing, travel, and quarantine restrictions in Minnesota and across the nation, it is with heavy hearts that we are cancelling ZK2020 as an on-site event.

If you are a registered attendee, please check your email for more details about refunds and deferral options. And if your spam filter got our email, please email us (or use the contact form) if you did not receive the email with the same subject as the title of this post.

Also, many of you have shared your concerns about and desire to support our market vendors. We are organizing a virtual market event to help support our vendors who are deeply impacted by all of the recent fiber event cancellations. We will share more details about this virtual event soon.

Finally, we are working on a package we are calling ZK2020 @ Home with a mostly surprise kit (like a ZK2020 goodie bag) with virtual interaction surprises to take place close to the original ZK2020 time frame.We will share more details about this virtual event soon.

We are sad that we won't be able to see your wonderful faces in person in June, but we know that this too shall pass. Like all things, this pandemic will have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And we will be back together in person soon next June.

Stay safe and well. Megan and Amy.

ZK2020 and COVID-19 Concerns

We are closely monitoring the situation and evaluating options should changes need to be made for the ZK2020 event, but at this point it is too far out in the future to know if the event will be impacted.

We understand that travel plans and your health are a deeply personal decision.  If you wish to cancel your retreat spot now  the same cancellation policy is in effect. 

We will continue to communicate any changes as the situation unfolds.
