Thank you for your submissions

The iConference 2021 submission period has closed with the exception of the Early Career Colloquium. We thank everyone for their contributions. All materials are currently in review, and decisions will be announced in mid-December. Registration will open at that time.

Online Format: What this means to you

iConference 2021 will be entirely online, taking place during the last two weeks of March (March 17-31). All presentations will be be made remotely, and all colloquia and meetings will be virtual. 

Registration will open in mid-December, and the registration fees are projected to be the lowest in conference history. We believe these affordable rates combined with the fully online format of iConference 2021 will help ensure the broadest possible participation. 

As with everything these days, all iConference planning is subject to future circumstances. As planning evolves, we will keep everyone informed. We thank everyone for their patience and understanding, and look forward to gathering with you virtually in March of 2021.
