Culver City, CA – May 28, 2020 – The WMIS has announced its decision to move from a live World Molecular Imaging Congress scheduled for October 7-10 in Prague, Czech Republic to a full virtual event.
“Although we are disappointed to have to make this decision our primary concern is for the health and well-being of our attendees, staff, and the public. We remain committed to creating a global platform to showcase the science, and believe there are unique and safe ways to collaborate virtually,” said Julie Sutcliffe, President of WMIS.
The abstract deadline for the virtual meeting is scheduled for June 14, 2020 and the late-breaking deadline July 15, 2020. The Virtual Meeting will begin on October 7, 2020. Further details will follow shortly.
The WMIS Program Committee will focus on creating an exceptional scientific program that will meet the high expectations of the live meeting. As the WMIS regroups and reorganizes, they will continue to contact speakers and industry sponsors to confirm their participation.
For attendees who have paid fees for WMIC 2020, you may transfer your payment to next year’s meeting or request a full refund at https://wmis.org/registration-information/.
