Northern California is starting to feel the impact from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) with corporate events, large and small, making the decision to either stay on the schedule, or pull the plug for the emerging health and safety concerns.

The travel ban restrictions alone are making some events not only suffer in attendance, but even stop key speakers from being able to deliver their message to their companies in person. It seems that until the public safety issue is under control, we may keep seeing the cancellation of large group gatherings.
