Dear ICGI members and friends:
As a result of the ongoing global, COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 ICGI Research Conference
will be postponed with a plan to hold a blended (in person and virtual) ICGI conference from
February 27-March 4, 2022 in Rehovot, Israel.
We will consult with Prof Saranga and the local organizers who will provide an
update on the status of the COVID-19 situation in Israel by the last week of October 2021. We will also consider the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on international travel.
No later than October 31, 2021, the ICGI steering committee will make a decision
to: 1) proceed with the conference as planned (February 27 - March 4, 2022) or 2) organize a virtual ICGI conference to be held sometime in 2022.
Regards,
Todd
