Call For Abstracts

Update: March 12, 2020

Dear Colleagues:

After careful deliberations and due to the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic we have made the difficult decision to cancel the iGES 2020 meeting set to take place on May 2 in Chicago, IL. Due to the travel bans and state of emergencies declared in various states and countries we feel this is the correct course of action.

We thank you and the entire iGES community for understanding the difficulty of this decision and for your commitment to the success of this conference. Our thoughts are with all who have been impacted by COVID-19.

We look forward to seeing you all at our meeting in 2021.

Best regards,

Jane Yin, MD, Secretary, iGES

Jiande Chen, PhD, Vice President, iGES

Richard McCallum, MD, President, iGES
