IAF Spring Meetings 2020

Dear IAF Community,

It is with deep regret that the IAF has decided to cancel the IAF Spring Meetings 2020 that were planned in Paris on 24-26 March 2020.

It is our responsibility to think of the health and safety of our community and therefore cancel the physical meetings.

However, we are committed to ensure that most of the meetings and discussions that would normally take place in Paris can still take place remotely, via video and phone connections, in order not to disrupt the activities of the Federation and its community.

Thank you

Please see below for the virtual meeting schedule:
