"Everyone – apologies that it’s taken me this long to get any information to you. It’s been incredibly busy here trying to figure out how to move this event forward. As it stands, goneMOAB will be changing into something new. Greg, Beth, and I’ve dug into what it’s going to take to make the even move forward and simply put, it’s more than we can pull off. Because of that, I’ve been reaching out to different people who’ve expressed interest in keeping it running and we’ll be turning things over to them. Please join me in welcoming LeLan Merel, Sean Truttmann, and Jay Anderfuren on board! They’ve volunteered to take this endeavor on and will be putting out announcements and information regarding the new event.
What does this mean for all of the attendees? In the big picture, probably not too much – the event will get a different name but it’s occurring at the exact same time. The three of us won’t disappear completely as we’ll be around to answer questions and make sure they’ve got as much information as possible.
Personally, I’d like to say thank you to all of those who’ve made the event great. It’s been a fun ride for us, even with all of the ups and downs. However, after attending for almost 10 years and being an organizer for the last three, it’s time to for us to take a sanity break.
More announcements will be forthcoming from your new organizers. I’ve got the utmost faith in them that they’ll put together a great event."
