The ISPA 2021 conference website will continuously be updated. We remain vigilant and responsive to the rapidly changing parameters of the COVID-19 pandemic with primary emphasis on the safety of the participants. Based on how the situation unfolds, if required, we will pivot to make the conference a Fully Online event. We expect to make this call in mid-April and we appreciate your u nderstanding and flexibility.

We will continue to work with commitment and flexibility towards preparing an outstanding conference program that meets the demands of a hybrid format. Help us promo and spread the word for ISPA 2021.
