Mark Your Calendars – The 2021 Conference Is Coming

Mark your calendars because we’re returning for another year of online conference programming in May 2021.  Monday May the 24th will be our pre-conference day and Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 27th will be our regular programming.  We have a great keynote we are finalizing now and will be releasing details on soon as well as a call for proposals.  So, it’s not too soon to start thinking about topics you would like to share with the community.
We are hoping that between being able to lower ticket prices (not having a physical venue to contend with) and no need to travel that more community members will be able to attend than ever before so also start thinking about who at your institutions might be interested in attending.
Lots of additional details coming soon so stay tuned!
