ISCBIT 2020 - Conferences

4th International Scientific Conference on Business and Information Technologies (ISCBIT 2020)

COVID-19 UPDATE: ISCBIT 20

In response to the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Faculty of Business and Economics and Faculty of Contemporary Sciences and Technologies of South East European University, and the organizing committee are making a commitment to make sure that all authors submitting papers to the ISCBIT 2020 conference can still rely on the publication, indexing, and networking opportunities they have been accustomed to expect.

To ensure safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees, ISCBIT 2020 will be organized at a later date. As a result, the upcoming conference will continue to accept submissions and all matters related to publication and indexing remain unchanged. The dates of the conference will be announced as soon as the situation is stabilized. We are sorry for the inconvenience and looking forward to reading your work as you submit.

Yours truly,

ISCBIT 2020 Organizing Committee
