Thanks to Seibertronian Bed Bugs we've learned that TFcon Orlando in Florida has been canceled. This comes only a week before the event was intended to take place on March 20 as the world braces for the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19). They do intend to still hold an event in the Fall with a location and date announced later. A message on TFcon's Facebook page explains:

To our valued fans, friends, and partners,

TFcon Orlando has been canceled.

Attendees, vendors, and artists will be issued automatic refunds.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation.
We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

We will announce the date and location of our fall show next weekend.

This comes the same day Florida Governor Ron DeSantis encouraged event cancellations and increased social distancing to decrease further spread of the virus.
