Covid 19 Policies and Recommendations

In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, IEEE ICCVE 2022 has officially moved to a hybrid conference format, where attendees can be either virtual or in-person. For our in-person attendees, we are excited to host a strong in-person experience while implementing protocols that promote awareness and protection. The conference has in place the following procedures and policies.

Before Leaving Home

  • Be sure to monitor your home country/location’s travel requirements to stay current in the event of any restrictions or requirements that may prohibit your ability to travel.
  • If you feel sick, please stay home. We will miss you greatly, but for your recovery, your colleagues’ safety, and the health of everyone you may come into contact with, please don’t travel.
