LOS ANGELES and LONDON, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To ensure the utmost safety and well-being of its customers, partners and employees in light of recent coronavirus concerns, accounting automation software leader BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) will be conducting its tenth annual European user conference next week as a virtual event.  The conference was originally scheduled to take place in London, home of the company's EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) headquarters.
