FOCS 2020 is Virtual
IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE FOCS 2020 Organizing Committee monitored the developing COVID-19 situation. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, we announced that the IEEE FOCS 2020, scheduled to be held in-person in Durham, NC was converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the conference remained the same. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. More details regarding the conference and online registration are available.
