The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is presenting unforeseen challenges to the industry as major medical conferences are being forced to cancel in-person events and go digital. At Ferma.AI, we want to be as helpful as possible for you and your team and have compiled the below tracker.

Full list of conference cancellations and virtual plans (updated daily).


We've also listed major conferences, along with details of any planned digital coverage, for which Ferma is already planning to have resources available below. This list is not exhaustive and we will be adding conferences continuously over the coming weeks as requested.

Please reach out below if you are interested in Ferma-generated materials for these or other conferences.

What Ferma is doing to help teams cover virtual conferences:

  • Monitoring any digital conference events and compiling all related materials/data
  • Converting video to smart slide deck with life sciences synonyms and relationship search, transcript of presentation and Q&A
  • Providing overview of key sessions including: Slides, Q&A, Press Releases, and Social Activities

Digital Conference Plan:

Per the organizers: Our mission is as important as ever. That is why we still intend to deliver the latest cancer science to the global community during the Annual Meeting timeframe using a virtual format that respects the contributions of the authors and the work of the Scientific Program Committee. In addition, abstracts will be published online and in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on our usual schedule. ASCO’s educational program will not take place during this timeframe, and we are exploring opportunities for the future.
