Dear Colleagues,
We appreciate your patience while the
Organizing and Program Committees along with the MEI Board worked to identify next steps for the canceled Music Encoding Conference.

the conference website, https://music-encoding.org/conference/2020/. Please
note that the MEC will resume as an in-person conference in succeeding years.
We will refund all registration fees that have been paid. We ask that registered participants, including
students who were awarded bursaries, send an email to [log in to unmask] indicating

We hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe during this world-wide public health crisis.
With best wishes,
Anna E. Kijas,
