One of the world’s largest and most important energy industry gatherings was canceled by organizer IHS Markit Ltd. on Sunday amid mounting concerns about the coronavirus outbreak. It was due to start March 9.
CERAWeek has been an annual industry fixture over more than three decades and has become an important forum for its biggest players. This year’s event promised to attract thousands of delegates from around the world. The chief executive officers of Saudi Aramco, BP Plc and Total SA were among those due to speak during the event’s five-day program.
