Although this Congress was originally planned to take place at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 forced us to review the mode of presentation of the Congress. Thus, the general theme of the congress, Adapting to a Changing World, also meant adapting the Calgary Congress to a virtual format. The Congress program was planned to accommodate multiple time zones as participants was attending from all around the world at different times throughout the day.

There were many benefits to attending a virtual Congress:

• Easy access from anywhere 
• Lower registration fee 
• No transportation or hotel expenses 
• Flexible schedule 
• Discussion forums available ‘on demand’
