The expo released a statement Thursday saying recent developments such as participant cancellations and the World Health Organization labeling the coronavirus as a global pandemic, have led it to postpone the event for the safety of its members and attendees.

Attendees are still coming to the 2020 ConExpo-Con/Ag construction equipment show in Las Vegas this week, but they’re still being cautious in light of coronavirus concerns.
