We are very sad to announce that GSDE2020 is cancelled following Concordia’s decision to cancel all events happening between now and April 15th.
Ultimately, health concerns and prudence must take precedence over our desire to share this event created by the tremendous efforts of our whole team.
We thank everyone for their enthusiasm and encourage you to submit abstracts again next year!
Our final schedule is now available. Please see our Schedule page for full details. The whole GSDE team is excited to see you all on Saturday!
