The organizing committee of GECON 2020 has decided all sessions will be held exclusively online!
We consider the new online format to offer opportunities for exploring new ways of improving the interaction and feedback of the audience with speakers and promoting networking among the conference participants.
The registration fee of the online conference has been reduced to 250€ for one author of each publication, 100 € for participants, and 50€ for students.
The selection process will run as planned. The timely publication of accepted papers in the proceedings of GECON 2020 will be published in the LNCS series of Springer as announced.
Due to the new online format, GECON maintains open the proposal for special sessions. With the objective of encouraging alternative forms of participation that can increase discussions of technical topics and new ideas.
We solicit new topics and birds-of-a-feather session proposals. Deadline for proposals is August 15th, 2020.
