>>>That is my way of saying that some of the remaining VFP names just continue to show that they feel what was true in the 1990's is still true today. There will be very few conferences between now and the end of the year, and the few that actually manage to prop up something will likely have terrible attendance. Candidly, and this is honest and sincere advice to Doug (whom I hold in fairly high regard), the time to look at a virtual model is now.

>>There is a huge difference between the two models. I'm visiting a lot of conferences (not VFP related) and meet a lot of clients and 3rd parties in person. Some things can be done online, others cannot.

>The CEO of Morgan Stanley said on CNBC today that 70K of its 90K employees worldwide are now working at home and things are going smoothly.

Same here... In our company the offices in 3 countries are closed. We all are working from home. But to be honest I do not feel as productive as I would be at the office. In our case a substantial number of employees are full time homeworkers anyways.
