As we did last year, we will have a five-day format that incorporates a hybrid approach with a robust attendance experience for both in-person and remote attendees. Furthermore, it is a priority for us to continue improving the experience for poster presenters, both in-person and remote.
Visa Advisory: If you reside outside Canada AND if you are a citizen of a country designated by Canada as visa-required, then we recommend starting within the next few months on the process of obtaining a visa if you intend to enter Canada and attend the meeting in person. Visa-processing times in Canada have been reported to vary widely from a few weeks to many months. If you wait until the SOC announces the scientific program, then it is very possible that your visa will not arrive in time. If you have questions about this process, please email the Local Organizing Committee Chair, Sam Hadden (sam.hadden<at>utoronto.ca).
