It seems even events centred around remote and flexible working -- aren't safe from the Covid crunch

Queenstown's Remote Together NZ festival, which focuses on re-designing work culture in office spaces-- has axed next month's planned event.

Festival co-organiser Trent Yeo says it was a tough call to make -- but uncertainty around Covid-19 travel restrictions and its threat to ticket sales sealed the deal.

He says ticket holders will be refunded this week.
