SGF CONFERENCE 2020 CANCELED

We regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2020 SGF Conference which was to take place on Friday 3rd April in Zurich.

The current responses by our local and federal authorities to COVID-19 combined with the most recent responses by policy and academic institutions have made it highly unlikely that we would be able to carry out the conference with our planned programme and participants.

We look forward to seeing you at SGF2021 which will take place on Friday 26th March 2021 at the SIX ConventionPoint in Zurich.

Yours Sincerely,

Martin Brown, Roland Füss, Markus Schmid

April 3, 2020, SIX ConventionPoint, Zurich, Switzerland
