The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has announced a lineup of five new virtual events taking place in the fall of 2020. As COVID-19 continues to make it difficult or impossible to hold large gatherings, A3 is transitioning the following 2020 in-person conferences to virtual events as well as adding two new events:

•RIA Robotics Week: September 8-11 (new)
•International Robot Safety Conference: October 6-8
•Autonomous Mobile Robot Conference: October 26-27
•AI & Smart Automation Conference: October 28-29 (new)
•MCMA TechCon: November 9-10
 
The in-person Collaborative Robots, Advanced Vision & AI Conference is postponed until the Fall of 2021. However, A3’s Robotic Grinding and Finishing Conference, slated for December 2-3 in St. Paul, Minnesota, will be held in-person if possible, and online if not.
