The World Economic Forum said Monday that it has canceled a summer version of its annual meetings that was due to take place in Singapore.
“Regretfully, the tragic circumstances unfolding across geographies, an uncertain travel outlook, differing speeds of vaccination rollout and the uncertainty around new variants combine to make it impossible to realise a global meeting with business, government and civil society leaders from all over the world at the scale which was planned,” the organization said in a statement.
The event, which brings together politicians and business leaders from around the world, has already been rescheduled twice and had been moved to Singapore from its usual location of Davos, Switzerland.
