<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The Governing Board of the Cognitive Science Society has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation carefully. While we all express our hopes for a speedy resolution, it is now clear that it will not be possible for us to hold our annual conference in Toronto this year. <span style="color:#006160"><strong>We are excited, however, to announce that CogSci 2020 will take place as a virtual meeting on the same dates: July 29th - August 1st. </strong></span></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We remain fully committed to making sure the Proceedings of the 42nd Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society will appear as usual. Notifications of acceptance will be provided in April. On notification of decisions, authors will be able to indicate whether they wish to present their material virtually. Regardless of their presentation choice, all accepted authors will be able to publish in the proceedings. Our intent at this time is to run our full program as a virtual conference this year, including tutorials and workshops, all awards, plenary speakers, symposia, paper tracks, and posters. We thank our wonderful conference co-chairs, Blair Armstrong, Stephanie Denison, Michael Mack, and Yang Xu, for their tremendous efforts in these difficult times, as well as all of you who have contributed submissions, reviews, and meta-reviews.</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Although we are disappointed about not being able to host a physical meeting this year, we are enthusiastic about the new possibilities of a virtual meeting. We will announce further details in the coming weeks.</div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Thank you all for your words of support and enduring commitment to cognitive science. As ever, any questions or concerns can be directed to the Society Chair, Asifa Majid <a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline" shape="rect" href="mailto:asifa.majid@york.ac.uk" target="_blank">asifa.majid@york.ac.uk</a>, or the Society Executive Officer, Anna Drummey <a style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline" shape="rect" href="mailto:anna.drummey.css@gmail.com" target="_blank">anna.drummey.css@gmail.com</a>.</div>
