The Expo is just the latest in a long list of coin shows and expos that have been cancelled globally due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The novel virus has infected over 1.4 million Americans with nearly 85,000 fatalities.
“The health and well being of our expo community is of the utmost importance to us,” said Cassi East, President of the Long Beach Expo. “Due to the escalating concerns around the spread of COVID-19 at large community events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the June show and plan to return to the Long Beach Convention Center this September. We appreciate the ongoing support and help of everyone involved as we work through this challenging and uncertain time together.”
