Congress 2020... how is it shaping up?

COVID-19 stats are not looking good for Florida, despite Disney reopening. In 5 months can we expect it to be better? What about our international membership travelling to the US? What are the options and pricing schedule under consideration for this years conference?

We hope to have some news for the community soon. Stay tuned.

I really hope it's virtual. No way I'm getting on a plane till we have a vaccine.

If Congress were in the EU, US citizens wouldn't be able to attend yet.

Unless we want to kill off a lot of our (rather short staffed) colleagues, I assume it, like everything else, is going digital.

Is there a CFP out yet?  I've got some presentations I'm dying [1] to propose.

[1] - too soon?

I got a presentation idea, but I am not the correct person.....  How to set up and manage an online meeting with 3 different speaker tracks, a hundred or so speakers dispersed world-wide and thousands of attendees, complete with lessons learned.  Might be best on the *last* day of the conference as the content will have matured by then.

Nah.  By then everyone will have Zoom fatigue real bad.

I am the correct person. I did that 35 years ago. Presented it at two conferences back then, as well.

Have done some updating since, but depressingly little ...

Thinking more of how Congress 2020 did it and the lessons that we all learned from the new "venue".
