Upcoming trade shows?

Due to the Corona Virus, all trade show events to date and in the near future have been canceled. Curious if CES will happen.
If I were a Home Theater manufacture the next opportunity to benefit from any trade show would be Sept next year. That is over a year away. This leaves little incentive to consider bringing any new product to market.

At the same time, the COVID lockdown may spark new interest in Home Entertainment.

Do you think we will see a boom in the HT industry or will the COVID sink the industry?

I know I look forward to seeing the new products every year. I love new toys!!!

I think more people will invest in building home theaters despite little or no new products. The projectors / speakers etc. available now are pretty outstanding. Also, there is no way I'd go to CES - I've gotten sick there before we ever heard of Covid 19.

We will have to see how the virtual shows go.

I might have missed this, are there any scheduled virtual shows? I guess that is the next best option.

I am pretty sure CEDIA will do a virtual show.
