***Update May 2020: The virtual conference platform deadline is extended to 30 June 2020.***

For the last weeks, the DATE Committees have been working intensively to transform DATE 2020 into a virtual conference. More than 400 presentations were submitted. Again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all presenters for their contributions, despite the demanding situation worldwide, as well as participants for their patience. We would also like to thank all exhibitors and sponsors for their ongoing support.

We are glad to announce that the virtual conference has now been launched and can be accessed via www.date-conference-virtual.com.

All participants received an invitiation link to generate their personal log-in date via e-mail this morning.

Once you created your log-in you can view the virtual conference in accordance with your initial conference registration. The platform will remain open until 31 May 2020 to ensure that you will be able to view the fascinating presentations.

The structure of the DATE 2020 virtual conference is based on the programme of the physical event. To guide you through the individual sessions, you can view and download the programme booklet. By clicking on the menu item Virtual Conference you will find an overview of the programme that leads you to all submitted presentations. The platform allows you to get in contact with the author, either by commenting the presentation directly or by private messaging. In the menu points Virtual Exhibition and Sponsors you will find all sponsors and exhibitors who have contributed to DATE 2020.

We hope you enjoy this one of a kind DATE conference and welcome any feedback!

If you have any questions regarding the virtual conference, please do not hesitate to contact the DATE Conference Registration under date-registrationkitdresden [dot] de (date-registration[at]kitdresden[dot]de)!
