HR conference | UNLEASH cancels two events due to coronavirus

Global HR exhibition and conference giant UNLEASH, which holds events in locations such as Paris, London and Las Vegas, has announced the cancellation of two of its upcoming events.

This is due to health concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, placing it in a ‘force majeure’ situation.

The cancelled events include UNLEASH Spring, scheduled for March 24 to 25, 2020, at the London ExCel, and UNLEASH America, scheduled for May 12 to 13, 2020, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas.

The decision to cancel these events came after a series of social distancing and delay measures announced by both the US and UK authorities over the past week – including the CDC and UK Government advice to cancel large gatherings, the state-wide closure of non-essential business in Nevada, and a myriad of national and corporate travel bans in place affecting participants.
