Forbes is canceling a 75-person "bubble" in Bermuda for its 30-Under-30 honorees after facing backlash online. The event was slated as a month-long residency beginning on March 1 where guests could "work all day, and then network, engage in live programming and have incredible fun on nights and weekends." Attendees would be required to be in a bubble where they only interacted with each other, and Forbes said in an FAQ that was viewed by Insider that it would implement "state-of-the-art testing, quarantine, and bubble protocols that rival anything in the world."
