They just canceled CES 2021
I was surprised that CCI rolled over this year's badges. IMO, it didn't make sense for them to have that liability on the books.
But that liability might be exactly why they rolled it over... if the money was already spent on some level they simply didn't have the cash to process that many returns.
I'm curious if they'd roll badges over again or just refund everyone. Can't keep rolling them forever
They just canceled CES 2021, I doubt any big conventions in 2021, but I hope I am wrong.
I think they did. According to reporting, the reason the official cancellation took so long was that they needed the time to get released from contracts without penalties. From the convention center, from hotels, from whoever.Also it's been reported that CCI saved up money just for this possibility. So they would have the money to ride out an unforeseen cancellation.
I was surprised that CCI rolled over this year's badges. IMO, it didn't make sense for them to have that liability on the books. Especially since they don't know what form any future convention will take and thus they don't know how much it will cost. Say it costs $100/per person per day to put on the convention in 2021 due to the added cost of new measures and lower attendance, how can they honor a badge they sold for $69? There's too much that's unknown to commit to that.
This thread is becoming way too political.
