MCCS 2020
October 21-22, 2020 (Virtual)
All times are in Eastern USA Daylight Time (UTC-4).
Although it is disappointing to be unable to convene in person this year, we have developed an exciting online program, with the great benefit that the virtual format reduces barriers to broad participation. We hope you will join us for this event!
Registration is FREE but required for all participants, including those giving presentations. Please register by Oct. 18.
In developing the program, MCCS has teamed up with our sister organizations, MCCS Asia and MCCS Europe, to offer three sessions of talks over the course of ~24 hours, to accommodate members from time zones around the world. Each session will include invited speakers plus speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The deadline for submitting an abstract to be considered for an oral presentation is September 21, 2020. Abstract authors selected for a presentation will be notified by Oct. 2. There will be no poster session this year, so abstract submission is for consideration for an oral presentation only.
