Datto has cancelled the DattoCon 21 face-to-face event in Seattle, and will instead proceed with a purely virtual event on October 13, according to the MSP technology company's website.
The face-to-face portion of the conference apparently has been canceled because of COVID-19 Delta Variant concerns.
Datto CEO Tim Weller discussed the MSP technology company's face-to-face and virtual event strategy during an August 2021 quarterly earnings call with Wall Street analysts. During that call, Weller indicated that Datto had a "Plan B" just in case the company had to cancel DattoCon 21.
Fast forward to September 10, 2021, and the DattoCon 21 website no longer mentions a Seattle gathering. Instead, content will roll out virtually.
Some Face-to-Face MSP Conferences Strive to Proceed
