Among other things in my schedule today was work on the IAFR Annual Staff Conference, scheduled for August. Yeah, it is happening…sort of.
With travel and social distancing restrictions and the lack of a Covid-19 vaccine, trying to bring a global team together physically is not possible. So keeping with most of our other meetings, we will be taking it to Zoom.
I have to admit, there is a grieving aspect in the midst of the planning. IAFR is a relational organization and we love being together. With that said, we are committed to bring the best of who we are to this virtual gathering. Doing an old thing in a new way.
If you have attended a virtual conference that you thought went well, tell me why in the comments. I am interested to hear some good ideas.
