The value of face-to-face interaction will never be ignored, but there are times when going virtual interaction is another value “necessity” as part of our event program. For the past seven years, Indonesian Geothermal Association (INAGA) has been proud and successfully to host the Indonesia International Geothermal Convention & Exhibition (IIGCE) in Jakarta Convention Center, Indonesia. This year will be different, the COVID-19 virus clearly prevented us to hold the event as usual, as there is no guarantee the safety and health of participants will be well managed. So we regretfully must take a difficult decision by postponing The 8th IIGCE 2020 until next year.
