From Digital Cinema Report:
I wonder if the former supporters staying at home are doing so because CinemaCon didn't live up to their expectations, and/or they decided that the money was only there to do one trade show this year, and so it might as well be the bigger one.
ShowEast organizers announced today that this year’s conference, which had been scheduled for November 8-11 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida has been cancelled.
Citing COVID-19, company travel restrictions, fear of flying and large-crowd gatherings have drastically limited the number of attendees to ShowEast in Miami Beach, they said. Despite a solid program of business sessions and screenings, former supporters are staying home until year's end.
Last year’s in-person show was replaced with an online event because of the COVID-19 pandemic
“We need to do what is best for the industry,” said Bob and Andrew Sunshine in a joint statement, “and without the usual number of delegates, we feel this is the prudent decision to cancel ShowEast. We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this decision may have caused.
