Given the significant uncertainties on how the global situation will evolve, and after evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by IEEE and relevant national and international agencies: 

ISPLC Organizing Committee had decided to confirm the conference, but make it fully "virtual" using online conferencing tools, without any physical participation of attendees.

Virtual celebration of the conference ensures that presented papers can be published in IEEE Xplore. Authors will have to prepare and submit a presentation file with voice narration. Conference registrants will be able to view slides over a 3 day period and interact with posted questions.

As a registered attendee of the conference, we ask you to select one of two options to either elect to attend the virtual conference or cancel your registration:

Virtual Conference Registration: As a registered attendee of the conference, you are already automatically registered for the virtual conference.  Once we have determined the new registration fee, we will process your refund accordingly and send a revised receipt for your records.  

Cancellation with Full Refund: If you cannot attend the virtual conference, you may elect to cancel your registration completely for a full refund. Please reach out directly to our registration team, (ISPLCReg@ieee.org) and we will process your request with full refund. 

The virtual event will take place between 11-13 May 2020. In such case, the deadline for uploading presentations will be 15 April. A communication in regards to this will follow in the coming days, detailing the new virtual registration fees and re-opening registration for all.

We look forward to the virtual participation.
