icMRI 2020

The annual scientific meeting of KSMRM, icMRI, was held (finally) on Tues-Wednesday of this week (11/3-4). The meeting was postponed twice, originally scheduled for March but delayed due to uncertainties related to the pandemic. From now on the meeting is likely to be held every November. Given the circumstances, the meeting was run smoothly, with over 1000 registrants reported, on par with  the previous years. The meeting provided a much awaited platform for technical exchange and information flow in the new socially distanced era, but the limitation of on-line meeting sessions was also clear, in terms to lack of speaker-audience interaction, or even speaker-speaker conversations off-stage. For one thing, everybody was stiffer and looking/sounding more serious in front of the cameras.
