Postponement of the deadline for the submission of abstracts to 20 May;

Dear Mr Yeong-Bon Koo;

We hope you and your families, colleagues and friends remain in good health. The global outbreak of COVID-19 is a source of concern for all of us; unfortunately, its evolution is quite unpredictable.

Due to the current uncertainty, the Organizing Committee for the IPC’s 26^th Session has decided:

• to postpone the deadline for the submission of abstracts to 20 May;
• that by 15 June, the Organizing Committee will announce if the 26^th IPC Session will be cancelled, postponed, held via video conference, or continue as planned;
• that should the study tours be cancelled or postponed, any who have registered and paid for those events will receive full reimbursement.

Please monitor the Session website (https://www.ipc2020.it/) where any relevant announcements will be published.

Stay safe,

Martin Weih,

Chairperson of the IPC
