Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications are set to continue for some time. The global health crisis has challenged our model of face-to face meetings – many of us still have travel restrictions and the role of social distancing continues to be crucial to control infection rates.

To adapt to the current situation, the ESO-WSO 2020 Conference Planning Group has come to the decision to transform the European Stroke Organisation and the World Stroke Organization Conference into a fully virtual meeting.

The virtual conference will still offer you the very best educational experience. It will include educational exchanges on the latest scientific advances and best practice in stroke care and fantastic online networking opportunities.

The virtual conference will take place on 7-9 November 2020. Virtual sessions will allow live interaction and will be available on-demand in the weeks following the Conference.

Your current registration is valid, and we are looking forward to welcoming you to our virtual auditorium.

More details on registration rates, transfer of registration and deadlines for late breaking submission will follow shortly. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions section below, which is updated regularly to reflect the most recent changes in policy.

Further details for delegates, speakers, and industry partners will be announced in due course.

ESO-WSO 2020 will continue to meet the needs of the stroke community and to ensure continuous education and professional support. Registered participants will still be eligible to receive the number of CME credits attributed to the virtual conference, and authors whose abstracts were accepted will get digital exposure of their e-posters.

We believe the ESO-WSO 2020 Virtual Conference will be a great success and are looking forward to meeting you online.
