The Association of American Cancer Institutes’ Clinical Research Innovation program has moved its July 7-8 annual meeting to a virtual format.

“The health and well-being of AACI meeting attendees, exhibitors, and cancer center patients is our top priority,” AACI said in a statement. “As we plan our 2020 meetings, we are closely monitoring the coronavirus pandemic—particularly the impact of COVID-19 on travel and professional conferences.

The association said it plans to announce information on registration and virtual sessions in the coming weeks.
