Atlantic City and Corona?

[blue moon]

anybody going? I would prefer not to go, but am speaking.
Who's going and who's cancelling?

I am cancelling. I was looking forward to the first year of attending seminars but I feel things will be getting worse in the next few weeks and I am actually worried about business.

[GraphicDisorder]

I bet attendance is going to be way down.

[RICK STEFANICK]

There is no way I would go. Just as a precaution. Pierre even as a speaker I would cancel.

[GraphicDisorder]

Id say still good odds it will be canceled. They are canceling events that are much more important than a screen print trade show.

I agree. And they should cancel it sooner than later to not leave traveling people in a bind.

I am in new york city and I am expecting a shut down down of most things including public transportation to a certain degree. I think the sooner the better.

We were planning to go Friday and Saturday, but now are reconsidering. We're going to make a final decision early next week.
 
Ryonte has cancelled going. (and also to Orlando) I'll bet other Vendors are also going to keep dropping out...

I feel like they are going to cancel the whole show, but I still keep getting emails each day about the show being on, so who knows

[DannyGruninger]

I heard m&r is pulling out/pulled out and the show is going to be rescheduled to a later date this year. I was planning to go but it looks like that probably won't happen. The media has really got this deal blazing which is no bueno.....

With so much uncertainty I can't blame companies from cancelling.  I'd rather lose money than put my employees in danger.

My daughter has a play coming up and my in-laws are cancelling their plane trip here.  It's a safe move.

I agree with the others pierre, I'd cancel the trip, even if I was speaking.  If M&R pulls out it's done anyway.

I am a scheduled exhibitor for the show. I talked to ISS this morning and this was my response.

As of this minute, we are still moving forward with the event; however, monitoring the situation very closely as things are changing daily. Certainly nothing is out of the question at this point, and Senior Management is currently discussing all options. As I hear more information, or should things change, I will be in touch right away!

I am guessing if it is still going to happen attendance will be down about 40%

Just got the email Gildan is pulling out so I expect many others to follow. And if M&R pulls out its done for.

Better safe than sorry.

I think at best the attendance is going to be down TO 40%. Probably a ghost town with exhibitors and attendees missing. I don't know that it's fair to the attendees to come to a show with major exhibitors not being there.
The part that has me concerned is the fact that there are many international exhibitors and many are from Asia and central Europe (two hardest hit areas). I am not worried about getting sic, but rather transmitting it to somebody who might not survive.

My guess is by Friday we will know if it is canceled. a lot of people involved with this decision. The exhibitor supply vendors, along with ISS insurance claims for their loss.  Not looking forward to chasing all the different investments i have made to be at the show.  But i don't want to go to a show and hear crickets.....

[mk162]

Some of our customers are cancelling large events too.  I am hoping this blows over fast for several reasons.

what danger? a cough?....damn media has the world upside down....
