ITC 2020 Taking Place Virtually Q&A

The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, the decision has been made to transform the in-person component of ITC into an all-digital conference experience – ITC will now be an online event. Therefore, ITC will no longer take place in Washington, DC and will instead take place virtually. The conference dates remain the same – November 3-5, 2020. Proceedings will not be cancelled, and publications will continue as planned. For questions, contact itc-web@ieee.org.
