Update, June 12, 2020 (2:20 AM ET): We have updated the original article with the latest information about the ongoing impact of coronavirus on the tech industry. We’ve also updated the list of canceled or rescheduled tech events to reflect the status of Computex 2020.


Original article: As of June 2020, the number of confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the world have surged well past seven million. More than 408,000 people have lost their lives to the deadly virus which continues to claim more victims on a daily basis. In the midst of this global pandemic, countries around the world have issued travel bans and tech companies are asking employees to work from home.

For instance, Facebook and Google have extended work from home until the end of the year. Twitter employees will also remain out of physical offices till at least September. Meanwhile, Apple and Microsoft have also closed offices and are getting work done remotely.

However, not everything in the tech world is in a bad place right now. Smartphone production around the world has started resuming and we’re also seeing new launches come about.

Still, be it because of travel bans, laws against mass gatherings, or simply for caution, multiple major tech conferences around the world are getting scrapped. This spate of event cancellations started with the Mobile World Congress 2020 which was scheduled to take place in February but got canceled at the last minute. A domino effect followed and one-by-one most major tech events, launches, and conferences of 2020 were delayed, rescheduled, or axed completely.

Here’s a list of all major tech events that were either canceled or postponed because of the coronavirus:

Tech events canceled, postponed, or going online due to coronavirus
