Intel Innovation, one of the company’s biggest gatherings, was originally scheduled for Sept. 24-25 in San Jose, California. But on Thursday, the company began notifying attendees that the event will be pushed back. 

“After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone our Intel-hosted event, Intel Innovation, in September until 2025,” the company said in a notice on the event’s website.
