Today Adobe made the announcement that it will pivot its in-person events to a virtual format for the remainder of 2020, which includes its annual creativity conference, Adobe MAX. This announcement is part of Adobe’s ongoing commitment to continue to protect the health and wellbeing of its employees, customers, partners, and communities and do its part to flatten the curve of COVID-19.
