I'm OK with this. In fact, I applaud Reed for keeping the show on. In order to show my appreciation, I am going to give every Reed representative I see at the show a big hug and a kiss.

Is it just me or does it seem like ISC has slowed their floor plan updates - specifically the ones no longer attending? Plus there is the unknown "held" booth status. Hmm... In fairness, I do still see some on the list above as no longer attending and they're still showing ISC on their websites.

Cancel ISC east and just do a postponed ISC west

This will definitely influence my employer's decision, and we were already leaning away...

Is there still a chance the show will be cancelled?
Surely not...they have an official response on their website saying it will go as is

If they moved the date back to April like it usually is I would go.

We are hitting critical mass with regards to cancellations- expect the distribution players to drop next, ADI, Anixter, etc - if their customers aren't going to be there then there is no point in going. After that the large manufacturers - Axis/Hanwha will follow suite.

is Milestone, Axis still attending?
that might be a violation of the Copenhagen letter to which they are a signatory:

Update:
JCI Integrator Now Has Tiny Booth
A new booth has been added to the former massive 4,500sqft JCI area, this is another JCI booth, albeit nearly 90% smaller, and for the integrator side:
This like virtually everything happening in the past week is unprecedented. It is not clear how Reed will fill the other 90% of that upfront space.

Fortune 250 end user here. Our group just cancelled flights, lodging, training and expo for ISC West today due a recent company wide announcement that large group internal and external meetings are to be avoided. The policy also applies to cities where the possibility to get infected is low.
There was minimal loss due to cancelling before policy deadlines. Flights are not refunded, but are credited. Lodging was fully refunded. The paid training on Tuesdaywe signed up for was non-refundable.
All things considered, the loss was insignificant compared to the risk, not to mention it's looking more and more like this show is going to be a bust with many vendors cancelling.
I agree with Sean from Nelly's... "Cancel ISC East and just do a postponed ISC West".

Canceling and cutting losses for these large organizations does not hurt them financially near as hard as it would for a smaller company. We have already spent $100k and unless the show is canceled by Reed/SIA where we could see a refund we will be there with a limited staff, each of which have volunteered to be there.
One of my board members flew yesterday from FLL to BWI and was surprised to see only a handful of people in both busy airports wearing any protective masks. Seems the traveling public is not as concerned about this virus, at least at these two airports.

Imagine the risk at Seattle Comic Con next week. It appears to be the most infected city in the U.S.

I am posting this here since it's the most current of the many ongoing ISC West threads.

Well at least ASIS has proactively cancelled their upcoming show:
To that end, we wanted to inform you that we have decided to postpone the ASIS Europe 2020 conference scheduled for 1-3 April in Prague due to COVID-19 concerns. We are proactively communicating with event registrants to make sure that their needs are met through this unfortunate but necessary process.

JCI has now said:
Considering JCI is a multi-billion security business with numerous lines and offerings, it will not feasible to show their offerings in that comparably tiny 20' x 20' booth, though perhaps they expect such tiny attendance.
It is not clear to us if JCI is trying to save face or save face for ISC West but going from a 4,500 sqft booth to a 400 sqft booth is incredible.
That noted, we have changed the title from 'drops' to 'slashes 88.8%'.
