[Athen] CSUN & Coronavirus

[Bourne, Sarah (MASSIT)]

J.J. Meddaugh of Blind Bargains is keeping track of cancellations and reports that 22 exhibitors and over 120 sessions have cancelled, with a list that’s being updated here: https://blindbargains.com/b/21585  Note that this list includes ones that have not been updated on the CSUN site yet.
Jared Smith (from WebAIM) says it’s at least 160 of 469 sessions cancelled as of last night, which is 34%.

Some people/companies are looking into making their cancelled presentations available online – good news for anybody who wasn’t going to be able to make anyway, I guess!
