SPiCE India Postponed Amid Travel Restrictions Due to COVID-19, Webinar on 17th March
SPiCE India 2020, scheduled for 25-27 March at Goa Marriot Resort & Spa, has been postponed due to the travel advisory issued by the Indian government, dated 11 March 2020, which cancels all existing visas for foreign nationa🐷ls except diplomatic and employment visas from 13 March until 15 April 2020 to curtail the COVID-19 impact.
In an email to the attendees, Eventus International, the organizer of the event, informed, “due to the recent bℱorder restrictions (announced by the Government of India on 11 March 2020), specifically pertaining to the cancellation of all foreign national visas, it is not possible for us to go ahead with SPiCE India 2020 on its scheduled dates. We are therefore left with no choice other than to posℱtpone the event to a later date.”

We are evaluating the situation further and will discuss with our advisors and ♔stakeholders before making an announcement on the new dates.
