With over 250 government events scheduled for October, the trickle-down effect of the government shutdown could have a quite an impact.

However, 57 hours in--the vibe is pretty optimistic, and many organizers are pushing forward as scheduled.

In fact, there's only a short list of events that have been cancelled or postponed this week:

• AFCEA Fall Intelligence Symposium scheduled for October 2 and 3. CANCELLED
• Symantec Government Symposium scheduled for October 2. POSTPONED until March 2014.
