The timing of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland couldn’t have come at a worse time for MMS. My thoughts are with all those wishing to attend MMS who now face cancellations and even the possibility of not being able to attend, as well as everyone else affected by this issue.
If you are faced with not being to make it to MMS the advice seems to be DON’T cancel your MMS Registration.
The MMS Team have covered this in more detail in a special European Attendee FAQ which you can access on the MMS Registration Site directly at:

Safe travels everyone wherever you are.
