Dear participants of IMID 2020,

The recent data of COVID-19 virus suggest that the occurrence of the infection has been significantly declined in Republic of Korea, but, there are still cases of the regional infection. Likewise, COVID-19 virus is not yet fully contained in most countries. Due to these threats and uncertainties posed by COVID-19, IMID 2020 Committee have determined that it no longer makes sense to attempt to proceed with a full physical conference in August.

Therefore, we here announce that IMID 2020 is going virtual from August 25 to 28, 2020 for the health and safety of all our participants.

It is with a heavy heart that we must make this unprecedented change. We ask for your understanding and cooperation so that we may still meet and learn from each other even in a virtual space.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Dong Hoon Lee
General Chair of IMID 2020
