I honestly see no reason for events that far out to cancel today. It does seem likely that they will have to do so eventually but they don't have to commit to that until the end of the month.
People are buying tickets right now and it's irresponsible to be selling them.
Every day delayed is more hassle for would-be attendees to deal with.
The NAB show 2020 (April 18 - 22, Las Vegas) is still holding out, "The Show is On. Stay Informed.": https://nabshow.com/2020/attend/onsite-services/coronavirus-... I wonder how many more days until they cancel as well. We have booked a stand and are planning to show a demo. Flights and hotels are booked. It feels slightly weird working on the demo, with the very high chance of it not happening after all.
On the website it says: > NAB has been monitoring the evolving situation on coronavirus both in the U.S. and around the globe.

Please see below for a message from NAB’s president and CEO Gordon H. Smith, along with some FAQs about the decision. So I guess 0 days!

Not viable imo. There's likely no cure coming this year. In a couple months the virus will be more disbursed and pose an even greater threat of transmission to our attendees that are old or sick and refuse to stay home.
You could say "let's try in August" and if warm weather has positive effects, then I guess it goes ahead, or if not, you just flat out cancel. It's irresponsible to hold events right now.
Why don't they just do it over YouTube?

The warm weather thing keeps coming up. Sure it’ll be warm where most the population is, but the other half of the world is going into winter.

> We look forward to bringing you E3 2021 as a reimagined event that brings fans, media, and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates the global video game industry. Looks like the entire tech and game industries have put the future on hold for a year and a half. Meanwhile, I suspect that Hollywood directors are scripting a COVID-19 film for box office success...
As long as animal crossing still come out on time, we can give up on the real world and just permanently live in the digital one.

That’s what we’re doing with an event originally scheduled for May. We’re postponing until September and hoping for positive news over the summer.
