the 4th big upcoming conference at chicago's convention center just cancelled due to coronavirus.
so far that's 100,000 attendees that won't be coming to chicago in the next couple of months. 100,000 hotel rooms unfilled. 100,000 expense account restaurant meals that won't be eaten, 100,000 uber rides not taken, and the ripples keep on rippling.
and perhaps just the tip of the iceberg.
