Dear all, After receiving requests for a little more time to finish preparations, we have extended the abstract submission period for the VCCA 2020 conference until Friday June 5 for sending in a last-minute submission. Notification of abstract acceptance remains on June 10.
Updates
Over the last months we have monitored the feedback and advice from other virtual conferences which has led us to the following insights (Parncutt, Sloan Review):
Given these insights and the options the virtual world offers we have chosen to offer time slots of 5 or 10 minutes for accepted abstracts:
For featured talks (on main topics) we schedule 15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A. We give featured talks relatively more presentation time so the presenter can introduce to the main topic to the audience.
We realize it is a challenge for the presenters to condense their material in such a short time slot. For this reason, we offer the option to record and upload longer presentations or background material to the website that can be viewed before or after the conference. The content you provide can be further edited and improved (or removed on request) after the conference. As mentioned above visitors of the website have the option to add comments and questions or may try to get in touch to continue the discussion well after the meeting.
We hope this way you can have a meeting during which we discuss the latest developments and insights. This format will provide you the opportunity to get feedback, improve your project, and build your network. The website www.computational audiology.com plays a central role in our philosophy: to create a discussion platform. Intellectual exchange is not expected to be confined to the conference dates. We approach this as an event that runs from the-save-the-date mailing (released on April 26) until at least a month after the virtual meeting on June 19. If successful and appreciated, we will investigate ways to extend the conference impact, perhaps with a regular recurrence among rotating hosts.
The VCCA2020 Conference is supported by the Radboudumc, Radboud University, the University of Pretoria, the Washington University in st. Louis, Cincinnati Children's, and the UCI Center for Hearing Research. We thank our sponsors for supporting our young scientist award and best initiative award and for making the virtual Conference possible!

Namens Barbour, Dennis
Dear List, We have subdivided this broad topic into:
• Computational models • Machine learning for audiology • AI for auditory implants • e-Audiology (connected hearing health care) • AI & Music (for hearing impaired people)
Our central mission is to improve (access to) hearing healthcare for more than 450 million hearing impaired people worldwide. The target audience for this conference is young researchers that wish to present their work and ideas. We offer a podium to receive feedback from peers and to get mentored by senior researchers. The choice for a virtual conference means:
• There will be no participation fee • We can more easily reach out to research groups in AI and Audiology worldwide.
There is a young scientist award for the best contribution to encourage input from young scientists. Abstract submission
Abstract submission deadline is May 31, 2020 (we’ll try to upload abstract starting May 15, 2020).
Note: If you forward this message, please add vcca2020@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in cc, so that we can track who already received our invitation.
