As the world grapples with the implications of the fast-spreading Coronavirus, the Brewers Association is anticipating a few concerns ahead of next month’s Craft Brewers Conference. The industry group issued an update for attendees on Monday.

The conference, along with the World Beer Cup competition and BrewExpo America trade show, is scheduled for April 19–22 in San Antonio, Texas.

One place where the fallout of the virus will be visible: the trade show floor. Chinese manufacturers will not be attending to exhibit their wares this year, except for those with staff based in the United States.
