300 presentations/talks, 6 keynotes, 5 plenary panels, 2 industry symposium panels, a Women in Services Computing Symposium, a Digital Health as a Service Symposium, a Future of Financial Services Symposium, a doctoral symposium, a Hackathon, an industry day, 4 tutorials, and much more to discover!

2020 IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES) will be held on October 18-24, 2020 as a digital event. It is solely financially co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society under the auspice of the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC). Its scope covers all aspects of current and emerging technologies in services computing. The addressed topics include systems and networking research pertaining to cloud, edge and Internet-of-Things (IoT) as well as technologies for intelligent computing, machine learning, big data, and blockchain applications; while addressing critical enterprise and industrial computing issues such as high performance, security, privacy, dependability, trustworthiness, and cost-effectiveness. More than 1,000 research manuscripts were submitted to the five affiliated technical conferences, respectively: IEEE CLOUD, EDGE, ICWS, SCC, and SMDS. After highly rigorous peer reviews, only about 20% of them were accepted for publication as regular research papers. In addition to the five top-tier conferences organized and contributed by many academic and industry leaders, IEEE SERVICES 2020 symposia and workshops facilitate inspiring in-depth discussions on emergent, foundational and impactful service-first R&D topics.
