Yelo announced today it will not attend the 2020 Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition (OFC) March 10-12 in San Diego, California, as a precautionary measure for its employees and customers amid the spread of COVID-19, known as the coronavirus.
“The safety and health of our customers, our employees and their families is of utmost importance to us,” said Richard Furey, CEO of Yelo Limited. “We appreciate the steps being taken by OFC organizers for the safety of conference attendees. However, given the continuing spread of the virus in multiple locations around the world, we believe withdrawing from this year’s conference is the best course of action. We value our long-standing collaborative relationship with OFC and look forward to participating in OFC conferences for a long time to come.”
Yelo will still be available to discuss any of your burn-in, life test and characterization requirements via email, telephone or video call.
We wish the show organizers, attendees and exhibitors a safe and successful show.
