Key claims & sources

✓
Organizers postponed the Solana Shanghai event on Friday morning after several law enforcement officers kept guests outside the Shangri-La Hotel, and attendees said the official email pointed to venue logistics.
✓
The delay came two days after the Solana Foundation showed off a new Shanghai office.
✓
Lily Liu said registrations quadrupled overnight before the Shanghai event was postponed.
✓
Liu said the number of registrations went beyond the attendance limit registered with local authorities.

What it means

People who had planned to attend the Shanghai event were the first to notice the change, because guests were kept outside the hotel on Friday morning and the gathering did not go ahead as scheduled. The same day, an official email cited venue logistics, so the immediate effect was a postponement rather than the meeting taking place normally.

In practice, the event did not proceed as planned, and the registration cap filed with local authorities was no longer enough for the number of signups described by Lily Liu. What stays the same is that the event still had an identified venue and an official limit, while the public explanation for the delay remained separate from the registration detail.
