R Medicine 2020: The Power of Going Virtual

The third annual R/Medicine conference was planned as a physical event to be held in Philadelphia at the end of August 2020. However, a nationwide lockdown induced by the COVID-19 pandemic required a swift transition to a virtual conference. This article describes the challenges and benefits we encountered with this transition and provides an overview of the conference content.
