Originally scheduled as an in-person conference in Tokyo, ICMPC 16 was postponed from 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. The (COVID-postponed) 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021 led to postponement yet again, so ESCOM sponsored a 2021 virtual ICMPC16. APSCOM then held an in-person ICMPC17 in 2023 instead.
