Non-Volatile Memories Workshop

CANCELLED: The NVMW 2020 organizing committee has decided to cancel NVMW 2020 over public health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus. We apologize for this inconvenience, however, we want to make sure we do not contribute to the stress and spread of the virus.

For those that paid registration fees, we will make sure to refund those funds as soon as possible. We will provide further information on that in the coming days.

The organizers will be in touch with presenters with detail for uploading their slides and a video of their presentation if they wish.  Also, please watch your email for the announcement of the recipients of the 2020 Persistent Impact Prize and the 2020 Memorable Paper Award.

We hope to see you for NVMW 2021 next year.
