IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PHENO 2020 IN LIGHT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
We thank you for your ongoing interest in the Pheno symposia. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we must cancel the physical version of the Pheno symposium. We were very excited to continue this great series and host you in Pittsburgh, but we are unable to do so while ensuring the safety of participants and the Pittsburgh community. We will refund any registration and banquet fees that you have paid. Please be sure to cancel any travel bookings that you have made. There is no fee to cancel your hotel booking if you booked using the Pheno code.
We are planning instead to host a virtual Pheno symposium. The full details of this virtual meeting will be made available soon. Registration for this virtual symposium will be free. The talk schedule will roughly follow the planned schedule for the physical meeting and will be held May 4 to May 6. We would like to encourage you to register and submit an abstract for a parallel talk. Registration can be done at https://indico.cern.ch/event/858682/registrations/ or by following the registration link on this page. If you already registered for Pheno, you do not need to register again. We hope to see you online in May!
