The coronavirus (aka Covid-19) pandemic leads to the cancellation of another trade event as AVIXA announces InfoComm 2020, set to take place in Las Vegas on 13-19 June, will no longer take place.

Originally set to take place on 2-6 June, Computex 2020 is now set to take place on 28-30 September.

It is the end of an era-- 14 February 2020, Valetine's Day, was the final day of ISE at the RAI Amsterdam, a 15-year stay brought to an end with a special ¡Hola Barcelona! event bringing together politicians, executives and attendees in a salute to the RAI and the city of Amsterdam.

ISE 2020 was somewhat subdued compared to previous years. After all, it was held against a backdrop of international health crisis with the coronavirus (aka Covid-19), not to mention the impact of Storm Ciara on air travel across Europe. According to the organisers, unique ISE 2020 attendees total 52128, down from 81268 in 2019, while the cumulative total of visits (including repeat visits by individuals on subsequent days) totals 116599. A reduced ISE was a considerably better fate than the cancellation that confronted other shows such as Mobile World Congress.
