Sponsors, speakers, etc.

I don't know the details, but I have a feeling the locals had a lot to do with it. Fear of stretching our medical system with way too many potential sick people. The homeless population getting sick is a big concern, that would have been (could still be) madness.

There was probably no right answer.
