IEEE has been monitoring the developing Coronavirus, COVID-19. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, the Organizing Committee of IEEE SECON 2020, in concert with the Steering Committee and IEEE, has decided that the conference will run as a virtual conference (i.e., using remote audio/video support) and not as an in-person event. Authors will be required to present their paper remotely, according to IEEE policies and procedures about publication(s). Attendees will still be able to enjoy the presentations and interact with the authors remotely.

We will communicate the details of the specific audio/video tools we will be using, as well as, the scheduling and format of paper presentations and other conference events.

A registration will still be required for all authors and conference attendees; we are currently re-defining this aspect. For this reason, the registration deadline originally communicated to authors of accepted papers is postponed to a later date. However, the deadline for the camera-ready version remains the same.

We will soon post further updates about the reconfiguration of other aspects of the conference.
