Covid-19 Information
COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation and the ICAR Planning Committee is monitoring the situation closely. At present, we are still planning and preparing for an in-person congress with a live stream of main stage presentations. However, the Planning Committee is developing contingency plans that will allow a quick response to changing conditions. These include postponing the event or pivoting to a fully virtual conference. We plan to provide further updates by the end of 2021 and recommend that attendees do not book non-refundable travel until that time.
