And another one bites the dust. 

 

I heard a Bloomberg reporter on their channel posit the main reason for the conference closures is no one wants to risk being be the place where an outbreak occurred and be associated with that. Imagine a headline, for example: 

14 People Catch Coronavirus at Adobe Summit

 

It's not a good time to be in the conference biz. Here's Adobe's statement: 

>From Adobe: Each year, we look forward to hosting our customers, partners and employees from around the world at Adobe Summit to talk about the future of customer experience, unveil the latest product and platform innovations, and get inspired together as a community.

 

Over the past few weeks, we have been closely monitoring and evaluating the situation around COVID-19 to ensure we are taking the necessary measures to protect the health and wellbeing of Adobe Summit attendees. As a result, we have made the difficult but important decision to make Adobe Summit 2020 an online event this year and to cancel the live event in Las Vegas.

 

While we are disappointed that we will not be together in-person with our community this year, we are excited to host Adobe Summit as an online experience. We will share additional updates on the online event soon.
