Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, -3.17% on Monday postponed its Cisco Live 2020 online conference scheduled for this week due to the ongoing nationwide protests. The conference had already been canceled as a live event due to the coronavirus pandemic. "At Cisco, we have always aspired to foster an environment of dignity, respect, fairness and equality for all," the company said in a statement. "In light of what is going on in the world at this time, we have made the decision to postpone Cisco Live this week." In a video statement on YouTube, Chief Executive Chuck Robbins said Cisco would make a $5 million donation to charities fighting racism and discrimination. A new date was not announced. Last year's Cisco Live had about 30,000 attendees.
