The 2020 COS Forum will be hosted on a virtual event platform.

Online you'll be able to build your user profile and begin networking with other attendees. You'll also be able to build your own conference schedule and add them to your calendar so you don't miss any of the presentations live. We'll have live Q&As, polling, Zoom breakouts, and face-to-face meeting scheduling, Miss or double-booked with another session? You'll have one full calendar year to watch a replay. We'll also have set virtual exhibitor hours, where with one click you can pop-in and instantly see them over Zoom, and then set an appointment for a more personal conversation.

Important Note: All participants will receive a unique link to enter the site a week prior to the start of the conference.
