Venue Change

Dear Attendees, Speakers, Wranglers, Mentors!
This is to inform you that our venue for WordCamp Pokhara 2019 has been changed. Our previous venue partner ‘Hotel Jal Mahal’ was unable to provide hall and accommodation for our event schedule as they have leased their property for a long term.
 
However, since they are very close to Hotel Pokhara Grande which is the only five-star property in Pokhara, we have been able to book halls for our event, even at this last minute’s notice.
As a part of the reimbursement, Hotel Jal Manhal has promised to be our gold sponsor. Nevertheless, other schedule for the event is as it is and all are requested to pass this information to whoever is unknown about our venue change.
Thank you !
