Organizers of the Game Develpers Conference annoinced today that they have postponed the San Francisco conference scheduled for mid-March due to the Corona virus.

So TrainJam on Amtrak's CZ from Chicago to Emeryville will also be postponed (if not canceled outright).

Watch for plenty of seats opening up on Amtrak #5 out of Chicago on 12 March.

TrainJam tweeted this this yesterday (2/28) evening,

Hey all!

With GDC 2020 announcing their postponement, we wanted to let everyone know that, as of right now, Train Jam 2020 will still be happening from March 12-14, 2020

Obviously this is a developing situation, and we will monitor the situation day by day....but as of right now, we are comfortable with the precautions we're taking and the policies we've put forth for running Train Jam 2020.

If you are an attendee of Train Jam 2020, we will be sending out an email very soon with more detailed information about how the postponement of GDC affects Train Jam.

So it looks like as of now, they are still a go.

Excellent, just the response from Train Jam I was hoping for. That said Mr Trump is on TV right now...

Yeah this is getting messy.

Train Jam sent out a tweet on March 3 that they are canceling this year's event.

That’s too bad, but I understand their decision. I just hope Amtrak doesn’t hold this against them for future bookings.

I'd like to think they received some sort of refund as well.
