thanks MC, excerpt, “OFC is offering all presenters the option to pre-record their presentations or submit their poster PDF for presentation in advance of the conference. Selected sessions will also have live speaker participation via video-conferencing. With these news steps in place, hundreds of speakers can still deliver their groundbreaking content, whether in-person or via recording."

For the benefit of all technical registrants, the OFC Program Chairs will have all of the speaker-authorized content from the technical sessions recorded. These recorded talks (content capture) will be made available within 24 hours.

A “no-handshake policy” at OFC is among the measures being implemented to protect the health of attendees. Additional onsite tools for registrants, exhibitors and onsite personnel include the following:

Increased availability Hand Sanitizer Stations
Increased Facility-Wide Cleaning and Disinfecting
Sanitizing/Cleaning Materials Available for Exhibitors
Increased On-Site Medical Support
Reduced Transfer of Physical Materials at Registration
Modified Catering/Food Service Practices for optimal food safety
Individual Hand Sanitizer available at Registration
Continuous Air Handling in Facility
OFC Management will:

Follow recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the policies of the local government and city officials
Ensure that First Aid personnel are adequately trained and capable of assessing and assisting those that may demonstrate flu-like symptoms
Identify local emergency care facilities that will be able to promptly care for attendees that may require immediate treatment
We strongly urge exhibitors and attendees to implement appropriate guidelines and protocols as suggested by the WHO and other health authorities.

The U.S. Government has taken steps to mitigate the concerns regarding COVID-19. Please reference links below for more information.
