Operative words
The date change was made 'because of public health concerns'; surveyed attendees 'felt that an autumn date for the WVC annual conference would provide more time to adjust to post-pandemic circumstances (vaccine distribution, travel safety, etc.)' (Viticus Group, as reported Aug. 12, 2020, Ex. SEC-26-GM-007)
