AGC 2020 Now an Online Conference
Important Announcement: The AGC board has voted unanimously to transition our AGC 2020 meeting to an online-only format. This is a decision for our 2020 meeting only. We made this difficult decision because, after consideration of both in-person and online options, we saw many substantial pandemic risks with the in-person meeting option that could continue without a clear resolution up to the time of our 2020 conference. We judged that situation to be unacceptable for our AGC community. By contrast, in the move online we see a big challenge, but one that is doable if we start working on it together now -- and that is exactly what we are doing.
