The IFSCC 2021 Cancun Conference will be a virtual only event because of restrictions due to COVID-19.

You’ll need to have Zoom software and have a good internet connection. If possible, use a laptop or desktop computer. You might have problems accessing the Conference videos on your cell phone.

What time will the Conference be broadcast?

We have 3 schedules posted: Mexican time (Central time), Central European Summer time, and Japan Standard time. The Welcome Reception & Opening Ceremony, including the two Magistral Conference Speakers, will be broadcast live, then re-broadcast. All keynote and podium presentations will be prerecorded and made available for the first time as shown in the schedules. Once they are made available you can access them 24/7.

If the Conference is virtual, why is “Cancun” included in the logo?

The Mexican Society is hosting the IFSCC 2021 Conference, so we’re keeping the original venue of the Conference in the logo and all materials.
