We've highlighted a few below. Our scheduled in-person events will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, with contingency plans in place. Some of our in-person events have been cancelled, postponed or moved to virtual platforms, and others—like our National Conference on Work & Cancer and travel scholarship program—continue to be planned for at this time.
