+author: The Rust Community Team
+description: "Join Rust events online"
+---
+
+In 2020 the way we can do events suddenly changed.
+In the past we had in-person events all around the world, with some major conferences throughout the year.
+With everything changed due to a global pandemic this won't be possible anymore.
+Nonetheless the Rust community found ways to continue with events in some form or another.
+With more and more events moving online they are getting more accessible to people no matter where they are.
+
+Below you find updated information about Rust events in 2020.
+
+Do you plan to run a Rust online event?
+Send an email to the [Rust Community team][community-team] and the team will be able to get your event on the calendar and might be able to offer further help.
