Originally, e-Rum2020 had been planned as a physical event to be held in Milano. However, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the declaration of a nationwide lockdown induced the Organizing Committee to fully rethink the event, and to turn it into a live virtual conference. In this article, we describe the challenges that we encountered during the organization of e-Rum2020, and how we reacted to them. In doing so, we aim to provide future conference organizers with useful information on how to organize a successful virtual conference, and even to turn a physical conference into a virtual meeting on a relatively short notice. | Notes: | Signorelli, M (corresponding author), Leiden Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Biomed Data Sci, Einthovenweg 20, Leiden, Netherlands. mariachiara.fortuna@vanlog.it; francesca.vitalini@mirai-solutions.com; m.signorelli@lumc.nl; efurfaro@ucdavis.edu; marinif@uni-mainz.de; gert.janssenswillen@uhasselt.be; riccardo.porreca@mirai-solutions.com; rossi@ingm.org; andrea.guzzo92@gmail.com; roberta.sirovich@unito.it; andrea.melloncelli@vanlog.it; lore.salvi81@gmail.com; serena.signorelli.87@gmail.com; filippochiarello.90@gmail.com |
