Due to the ongoing the COVID-19 situation, it is apparent that travel restrictions will remain in place for many of our SNOMED CT community in October. After much analysis and discussion, SNOMED International governance and organizational leadership decided that the October Business Meetings and SNOMED CT Expo 2020, taking place October 4-9, will be run solely as a virtual event.  Portugal will now serve as the October Business Meeting and SNOMED CT Expo host in 2021, with subsequent awarded hosts to follow accordingly.

Provisions are being made to allow October 2020 Business Meetings for our Advisory and Working Groups to convene online where appropriate in the first week of October. This will include a coordinated program of sessions focused on our Clinical Reference Groups and how SNOMED CT supports clinicians.
