CVMW2020, rescheduled to be held from Friday March 12th to Saturday March 13th, 2021 at Hamamatsucho Convention Hall, will officially be moved to a fully online format. Sessions will be broadcast live and also be available for on-demand streaming. After careful deliberation of the 4 host academic societies, this difficult decision was deemed to be the most appropriate response to the spread of COVID-19 across the world. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but are excited to explore this new format for meetings of academic societies with you. We hope you will still consider participating in CVMW2020 despite this change.
