46 MICCAI 2022 Preview For many new participants, all they know is Zoom presentations. They have never met anybody. It is a pity that the students, especially those enrolled in 2019, who in 2020/2021 should have been getting out into the community, presenting their work, and participating in social events, didn’t get to do so. Some of these students may be graduating this year, and they will have missed out on a key part of their academic training. How confident are you that enough people will come along in person this year and that habits have not changed? Many active members in the community have approached us to persuade us to do it, so we’re pretty sure. There’s always Shuo Li is the General Chair of MICCAI 2022 in Singapore. Shuo, for the first time in three years, MICCAI is back as a primarily in-person event. You must be excited! Yes, I am! Our community is shaking because people are not meeting each other. Many have said to me, “ I haven’t traveled for three years. Please don’t have another virtual event. I want to see people! ” We can finally get back to normal because this conference is not just about scientific content; it’s a networking event. We come to meet friends and colleagues and learn what they do. The MICCAI community is built on all the connections that we create. A PREVIEW OF MICCAI 2022
