[EVENT NAME] [ORIGINAL DATE] — Important update inside

Hi everyone,

I need to share an update about [EVENT NAME] scheduled for [ORIGINAL DATE].

[We've had to reschedule due to [SPECIFIC REASON — e.g. mentor illness / venue availability / insufficient equipment confirmed] / We've moved this event to allow more mentors to attend.]

📅 NEW DATE: [NEW DATE] at [TIME]
📍 LOCATION: [Same venue / New venue: ADDRESS]

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
→ If you'd already RSVP'd, your spot is held for the new date
→ If the new date doesn't work, reply and let us know — no penalty
→ All mentors and guest speakers are confirmed for the new date
→ Equipment/catering reservations are updated

NEW RSVP LINK (if needed):

APOLOGIES FOR THE DISRUPTION:
We know bootcamp schedules are tight. We rescheduled because the event's quality depends on having the right mentors and setup, and [ORIGINAL DATE] wasn't going to cut it.

If you have questions or conflicts, reach out. We're here to help.
