Will an event six months into the future in the middle of a global pandemic be actually held? Who knows? Anybody's guess would probably be as good as yours. It doesn't mean they shouldn't be doing the planning, just in case they can find a way to do it (maybe differently, but) safely. Sponsors and participants need to know the dates to organize their own plans and to decide on participation. I suspect that is all that the posting of the dates means for now.
