However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event has now been rescheduled to October 17th. Here's the official statement from the event organizers:
March 30, 2020 - The team at A Night for Neil has been diligently working with the venue, speakers and performers to secure a new date for our event. We watched and waited while the unprecedented events happening around the world unfolded before us.
