We are very pleased to announce that our second keynote speaker at VL/HCC 2020 will be Dr Cynthia Solomon, with a talk entitled “Inventive Minds: Active Thinking and Learning”. Cynthia’s work on Computer Science education, including development of the Logo programming language, has been a driving influence in understanding how to make programming fun and accessible to children of all ages and backgrounds. We’re honoured to have Cynthia to talk about her recent work - truly representing the ethos of VL/HCC!

The IEEE VL/HCC 2020 Organizing Committee and IEEE Computer Society have been monitoring the developing COVID-19 situation. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, we are announcing that the IEEE VL/HCC 2020, scheduled to be held in-person in Dunedin, New Zealand will now be converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the conference will remain the same. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. More details regarding the conference and online registration will be available soon. For any questions, please contact Craig Anslow.

We are delighted to announce that Professor John Grundy will be a keynote speaker at VL/HCC 2020, with a talk entitled “Human-centric Software Engineering”. Professor Grundy is Australian Laureate Fellow and Professor of Software Engineering in the Faculty of IT, Monash University.

We had over 50 Research Papers submitted. We are now into the reviewing process. Preliminary notifications will come out on 12 April.

The VL/HCC Organizing Committee is aware of the current COVID-19 situation. At this time, the conference is planned to take place as scheduled. The committee will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates if plans change. For questions, contact Craig Anslow.
