Two weeks ago there was supposed to be a conference that took up all halls here at the Center in NOLA. It was about 90% Chinese commuting in, it dwindled down to half a hall before eventually just being cancelled altogether. It’s happening all over the world.

Our work cancelled a trip to Spain. Huge bummer.

Won't effect business.
These conferences are 90% just frick off time.
Not truly crucial for work.

With today's technology it really is a waste of the company dime.

My wife works for a company that negotiates hotel rates for large conventions. It will def have an impact on her commissions.

Why so?
I attended last year and thought it was a great conference.
Pompeo, Perry, Vicki Hollub, Mike Wirth, Ford, and a number of other high level executives joining to collaborate and discuss energy topics.
Regardless of what you believe deals do happen because of these conferences.

Supposed to be going to Detroit in April and OKC in September for you. I'm sure the Detroit gets cancelled

I think convention centers and associated businesses need to start to shift towards non business convention activities.
Stuff like comic Con etc. Experiences people will travel for. I see typical business conventions dieing out in the coming years.

I work for the company that runs it.
My sister has been working to set up an event for over a year for her company and they had to cancel.
