We have been closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19, and after much consideration, the European Commission together with the German Presidency have made the decision to cancel the ICT 2020 conference, due to take place 1-3 December in Cologne. As the nature of the event lies particularly in the personal exchange and networking of the digital community, we have to prioritise the health and safety of the ICT stakeholders.
