Thank you for your interest in the BioLogos “A Day of Science and Faith” event! We have been carefully watching the situation with the coronavirus in the Bay Area and looking to guidance from the CDC and the local government to ensure we proceed wisely. Based on new recommendations from the Santa Clara Public Health Department requesting the postponement of large gatherings/events, we have reluctantly decided to postpone our event.

If you are on our email list, we will be sure to notify you when we have rescheduled this event. If you have already registered, your ticket will be refunded in the coming days. If you have any questions, you can contact us at conference@biologos.org. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you when this event can next be scheduled!
