Just now cancel this? Uh, news flash, this virus has been spreading in most countries in Europe for a month now, with people cancelling events and flights, it just dawned on these people? Rock dwellers.

There is no need in that conference. All who say about internet, are crooks. They acquired that e-commerce and system by spying and implemented illegally. Conference for crooks? I do not think it is for Spain.

They should just host the event on mobile
