Samsung, Sony Pull Exhibits From Las Vegas Tech-Related Conference

Samsung and Sony pulled their floor exhibits from the BrandSource and ProSource annual event that's ongoing in Las Vegas. They cited citing company travel restrictions, said Andy Orozco, ProSource vice president-business development. The group didn't have an estimated number of how many people canceled. Other events including in Washington are being postponed due to the coronavirus (see 2003090062). Stock market volatility from the virus “hasn’t up to this point” affected ProSource members’ businesses, CEO Dave Workman told a news conference Sunday. Purell hand-sanitizer dispensers were everywhere throughout the Venetian conference area. We saw Venetian workers wiping down surfaces and escalator handrails with anti-bacterial cloths. Preregistration was given as 2,900 for the summit.
