Most conferences set for the second half of 2020 have now been canceled or made virtual events.

Thomson’s announcement said the virtual conference will be held in November, but a date has not been set. Also to be announced later are pricing changes or the transfer of registrations and procedures for new registrations.

The action follows the announcement by Wolters Kluwer Tax and Accounting last week that it was taking its CCH Connections conference virtual on October 26 through 20. That had been scheduled to be held at the JW Marriott in Orlando, Fla.,

Registrations for the virtual CCH Forward Together are now being taken.

Among the few in-person conferences still on the calendar for this year are two from Sage. Those are its Sage Sessions X3 conference, planned for October 13 through 15 in San Francisco, Calif., and Sage Summit, planned for December 9 through 11 in Orlando.
