The face of MWC 2020 looks grim, considering that more than a dozen participants announced that they'd give the event a miss due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak. It would be unwise for the organization to proceed with MWC 2020, as a global technology conference wouldn't make sense without a dozen or so industry bigwigs. GSMA said in a statement yesterday that it'll publicly announce the fate of MWC 2020 on the 14th of this month. However, sources close to the organization are speculating that the event will be canceled.

A source familiar with the issue told Wired that GSMA has already decided on canceling MWC 2020 after Facebook, Amazon, LG, Intel, Ericsson, Vivo, ZTE, Nvidia, Cisco, Sony, HMD, Volvo, Orange, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, McAfee, BT, and HMD Global said that they wouldn't attend the event. Over 100,000 people from 200 countries were expected to show up for the annual gathering.
