Unfortunately, due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, the decision has been made to switch the event to fully virtual this year. While we were looking forward to hosting an in-person event and are disappointed that we’ve had to make this switch, the planning committee is working to ensure this can still be a valuable learning and networking opportunity for our attendees, while keeping public health and safety at the forefront.
