VIZBI 2020 postponed

Friday, March 13th, 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have postponed the upcoming conference on ‘Visualizing Biological Data’ (VIZBI 2020), originally scheduled for May 27-30 at USC in Los Angeles.

The conference is now rescheduled to take place 22 months later, in late March, 2022, at the same venue in Los Angeles.

Regarding the long postponement: you may know that VIZBI alternates annually between Europe and the USA. We have already finalised the schedule and speakers for VIZBI 2021, which takes place March next year in Heidelberg, Germany. Thus, the next USA-based meeting will be in 2022. On the positive side, by then conference travel should to be back to normal.

The satellite workshop on ‘Visual Storytelling in Biology’ is now rescheduled for late May, 2021, still at USC. Further details on the workshop will be announced in the next few months.

We are currently contacting 2020 speakers and paid registrants about the postponement. The 2021 program will be announced shortly, and the 2022 program announcement is planned for March 2021.

We apologize for any inconveniences arising from this postponement. If you require further information, do not hesitate to get in touch with the VIZBI organizing team.
