2020 SEM Annual Conference - Virtual Conference Details

Overview

The SEM XIV International Congress will be held in a virtual format. This format may include live and on-demand lectures and/or presentations, synchronous and asynchronous question and answer sessions facilitated by SEM, discussion and interaction through our app platform and other details that are currently being finalized. As with our typical conference, all authors/presenters will have access to each others submissions.

Virtual attendees will have access to recorded presentations preceeding the conference dates and Q&A periods will be held during the week of September 14-17, 2020. The prestigious Murray Lecture, the Springer/Nature Publishing Young Investigator Lecture and session keynote lectures will also be available.

If you decide not to participate, we hope that you will consider submitting your work to the SEM Annual Conference 2021 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  We welcome extensions of the same work submitted to Annual 2020.
