April 15 it was announced that the Swedish O-Ringen Uppsala 2020 has been cancelled and postponed until 2021. This means that the IOF supported O-Ringen Academy and the the IOF Global Development Conference, which were scheduled to be held in connection with O-Ringen 2020 are also cancelled. Most likely the Global Development Conference will be re-scheduled to be held in connection with O-Ringen in 2021.
