[Athen] CSUN & Coronavirus

[Hunziker, Dawn A - (hunziker)]

Any of the sessions hosted by those vendors will most likely be cancelled... Unfortunately it doesn't look like the website is updated with which sessions are now cancelled....

Howard, 

I am signed up to attend, but was unaware of the cancellation of exhibitors.  Are sessions being cancelled too?

Dear All,

Have any of you looked at or worked with Blackboard Ultra and tested the  accessibility.  Any feedback or information you can share would be great.

Thanks

Hello All:

I see quite a number of companies - Deque, Microsoft, Verizon, Pearson, Amazon, Adobe, CapitolOne - have pulled out of attending CSUN because of Coronavirus. And the latest cancellation is Teach Access.

A WAI working group meeting I was scheduled to attend has also been cancelled.

Just gauging other folks thoughts on this as I contemplate whether to change my plans.
