The canceling of conferences has become an inevitable consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today the first lithography conference took a hit. The 64th International Conference on Electron, Ion, And Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN, also known as three-beams or triple beam), scheduled for the end of May in New Orleans, has been cancelled. I’ve enjoyed this conference many times in past years, and I look forward to attending again in the future.
