Hi! Ten year veteran of convention planning here (@mischiefmanagement) with some info that some may find useful: As events continue to cancel because of #covid19, and gatherings of large sizes become outlawed, here are some things we find ourselves explaining
to family and friends a lot, which might explain a few things — especially about why organizers sometimes wait so long to make the call.
We all know events are large and complicated things, and cancellations are expensive.
