The Reactory Summit, a one-day biomanufacturing conference to be held at the Beechwood Hotel, has been postponed from Oct. 13 to April 6, according to The Reactory’s website.
The Worcester Business Development Corp., which is hosting the event, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday, as to why the event was postponed.
The conference is slated to include more than 150 people from the life sciences industry, which the 46-acre Reactory biomanufacturing campus in Worcester caters to.Â
On Aug. 31, the Worcester Historical Museum announced it would postpone to the spring its 21st Harvey Ball celebration, also scheduled for October, due to an ongoing surge in coronavirus cases.Â
COVID cases have been on the rise in Massachusetts and in Worcester County. The county has 2,203 new cases in the week ending Aug. 31, which is trending up, according to data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
