Virtual Contingency

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty as to what the landscape of in-person conferences will look like for the rest of 2020. We value the ability to network and learn together in person but recognize that social distancing measures may still be in place this fall. ARAPA is investigating the possibility of hosting the conference virtually, or in hybrid format (virtual and in person). We will keep our constituents posted as we move forward.
