I wonder if Facebook will be able to leverage the VR tech to give presentations in avatars instead (if they plan not to give ones in person) https://t.co/kmZeyYNIqs

Wow. Facebook cancelling F8 developer conference due to coronavirus fears. $FB says "this was a tough call to make...but we need to prioritize the health and safety of our developer partners, employees and everyone who helps put F8 on." https://t.co/tpNSxb8HaN

Wow, Facebook cancels the in-person part of F8 due to Coronavirus... and the conference is all the way in May. https://t.co/NlH5f5q6XR

If the current environment doesn't improve in the coming weeks, it's logical to assume every major company will follow suit.

This is a bummer for a lot of reasons, but any time you can take one fewer trip to San Jose in a year I consider it a win https://t.co/MznwFPFRbz

think conferences will be the biggest thing that are preemptively cancelled. it's basically non-essential travel and human contact. nobody wants to get sick to network. and no conference wants to be known as the epicenter of an outbreak https://t.co/URGM6rYHmM

Facebook canceled its annual developers’ conference due to coronavirus. Many big tech companies have spring conferences, so this could be just the beginning of cancellations https://t.co/ME335258fg

This is a rare example of @Facebook being voluntarily responsible. It’s a big deal for them. And it’s a sign of just how seriously U.S.-based companies are beginning to take the Coronavirus. https://t.co/Z1GUC6Ev7r

After Facebook postponed BountyCon yesterday, the writing was on the wall for F8.

You can postpone a small conference. You can't postpone something as big as F8. https://t.co/xylz6dBBlv
Microsoft is pulling its Game Stack team out of GDC next month due to coronavirus concerns. Looks like GDC is going the way of MWC. Sony, Unity, Facebook, and others have also pulled out of GDC. https://t.co/U9jkshQqiA

Instead of hosting a big F8 in San Jose, Facebook will program "locally hosted events, videos and live-streamed content." This is what many conferences, tech and otherwise, will look like in the coming year. https://t.co/Wq6JhowPxx pic.twitter.com/5PMOWztXJc
