A pretty amazing moonrise at MCO – Orlando International Airport. Had to sprint ~150 feet last minute to get things lined up and mitigate for the clouds.

Some good news: Production is ramping up in China

EU (and soon enough US) will still need a lot of time to get rid of the Coronavirus outbreak. But there is some hope: China is winning the battle and has now started to reopen their factories. Nikkei reports that the only major problem yet is that only 60% of the workers had returned to work as of Saturday, according to the Chinese government.

Olympus itself doesn’t assemble their cameras in China anymore but many electronic pieces are produced in China.

The Las Vegas NAB show has been canceled due the coronavirus health concerns

Well this doesn’t come unexpected:

Dear NAB Show community, 

As you know, we have been carefully monitoring coronavirus developments both domestically and globally over the past few weeks. 

In the interest of addressing the health and safety concerns of our stakeholders and in consultation with partners throughout the media and entertainment industry, we have decided not to move forward with NAB Show in April. We are currently considering a number of potential alternatives to create the best possible experience for our community. 

This was not an easy decision. Fortunately, we did not have to make this decision alone, and are grateful to our NAB Show community for engaging with us as we grappled with the rapidly-evolving situation. This Show is as much yours as it is ours, and it is important to us that we move forward together. 

For nearly 100 years, NAB Show has provided superior value and the best possible experience for exhibitors and attendees. We knew that if we could not deliver on those expectations, we would not move forward. More importantly, keeping the community safe and healthy is NAB’s highest priority; therefore, we are deferring to the developing consensus from public health authorities on the challenges posed by coronavirus. 

We are still weighing the best potential path forward, and we ask you for your patience as we do so. We are committed to exploring all possible alternatives so that we can provide a productive setting where the industry can engage with the latest technology, hear from industry thought leaders and make the game-changing connections that drive our industry forward. 

I want to stress that despite our disappointment at how this year’s Show has been impacted by global public health concerns, we are more excited than ever about the future of NAB Show and our relationship with you. 

We are grateful for each and every member of our Show community. It is your passion for the industry that makes NAB Show a success year after year, and it is that same passion that will drive us into the future as we look ahead to new possibilities later this year and beyond. 

Sincerely,

Gordon H. Smith 
President and CEO
