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.

“We believe this decision will allow us to deliver the innovative, quality education our members expect from the CRI annual meeting, while prioritizing the health and safety of attendees.”

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