Important Notice（Transcultural Nursing Society Conference in Japan 2020）
Announcement of Holding of Virtual-type Conference
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to those who have lost dear ones due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, we wish those who have become infected a speedy recovery. To those on the front lines of safeguarding the lives and health of people around the world, you have our deepest respect and gratitude.
With the support of so many individuals, we have devoted great efforts to preparing for the holding of Transcultural Nursing Society Conference in Japan 2020. We have already begun registration of presentations, and along with the opportunity for academic exchanges we, the organizers, believe these will play an important role. Due, however, to the Covid-19 pandemic, and to support nursing and academic activities, it has been decided that the traditional method of holding a conference will be suspended in favor of a virtual type conference. With the wide dissemination of internet streaming, it may very well be that after the current pandemic subsides, virtual conferencing might become the desired model.
The deadline for submission of presentations has been extended to Monday, June 1, 2020, and pre-registration has been extended to Monday, June 15, 2020. The conference will be held in two formats: real-time bidirectional simulcast transmission and via on-demand transmission. The date for the former has been changed to Sunday, July 12, 2020. The on-demand transmission will be held from Sunday, July 12, 2020 until Saturday, August 1, 2020. It has also been decided to reduce the fees for attendance. The aforementioned dates were set to coincide with the 12th Annual Meeting of the Society of Cultural Nursing Studies.
We sincerely apologize for the concern and inconvenience to all those involved, and pledge to do our utmost in working to ensure everyone's satisfaction under these trying circumstances. We humbly request your understanding and support, and look forward to your participation in the upcoming events.
