2020 has been a challenging year for all. The COVID19 pandemic has provoked profound and probably long-lasting changes to healthcare systems but also the delivery of educational material to colleagues. 


Face-to-face conferences have had to be rescheduled and replaced with online meetings, given the continually evolving travel restrictions. 


The IFAD conference has not been spared these tribulations and we have decided to cancel the physical meeting to replace it by a virtual online meeting.


The 1st Virtual IFAD International Fluid Academy Days will again be a 3 day concise meeting on all aspects of fluid management and hemodynamic monitoring in the critically ill.
