TRIL - COVID-19 Pushes Cancer Conference Into a Virtual Format
A string of scientific breakthroughs in recent years has made oncology the most-watched corner of the biopharmaceutical industry, and many of those breakthroughs were first presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) annual meeting.
However, gathering scientists from all over the world and squeezing them into conference rooms isn't going to happen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of canceling the whole show, ASCO recently announced that the 2020 meeting, scheduled for May 29 through June 2, will occur on schedule in a virtual format that doesn't require attendees to travel to Chicago.
