Local nonprofit Quest Science Center this week postponed its fourth annual Tri-Valley Innovation Fair from September until Jan. 15, citing projected health and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 delta variant and anticipated impacts on the greater Bay Area.
“We have been working closely with our site partner, the Alameda County Fairgrounds, and monitoring qualified information sources throughout the region and state,” Quest CEO Monya Lane said Monday. “The Quest team based our decision upon the science, placing the health and safety of our sponsors, exhibitors and community first. We believe this is the responsible course at this time.”
Lane added that the response from sponsors and exhibitors has been overwhelmingly supportive and program planning continues full-steam ahead. The event is now scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 15 at the fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
