DMCB Conference Cancelled
Out of an abundance of caution with regards to COVID-19 and the state of emergency recently declared in Colorado, our organizing committee has decided to cancel the 2020 DMCB conference. We will notify participants if there are plans to reschedule the conference, although currently there is no timetable for that possibility. We apologize for any inconvience this may have caused, and hope to see you in the future.
