Hybrid format

The April Meeting will have both in-person and online experiences. The in-person experience will be at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center. It will include scientific sessions, career-focused events, networking opportunities, exhibits and workshops, receptions, and more.

The online experience will be held simultaneously, but it is geared toward remote attendees’ needs. It will feature livestreamed sessions from the in-person meeting, online-only research presentations, virtual poster presentations, and more.
