This was a really tough decision. Our goal has always been to provide the best possible experience, and we initially wanted to have this 51st ICPP in hybrid mode and, in turn, bookend the 50th year of ICPP. However, the COVID-19 crisis is not over and the security and well-being of the attendees and the organization staff is our first priority.</p><p class="part" data-startline="8" data-endline="9" style="box-sizing: border-box;
