During 2021 we are organizing a series of topical virtual conferences with 2 to 3 days of live events. These conferences will consist of pre-recorded talks, live webinar discussions, and various other virtual interactions with participants, including Slack and virtual meeting places. The conference material will be available a few days before the live conference starts, and during the two or 3-day event, we will focus on interactions between the participants. In the spirit of polycentric governance, we will use a common platform, but individual conferences may differ in implementation as seen fit by the topical organizers. Check out the individual conference websites for more details and deadlines for the submission of contributions.

The general conference in October is for members only and will be focused on capacity building, networking, membership meetings, and panels on cross-cutting themes. The events are live (and will be recorded). We will not have individual presentations during the general conference. Therefore, the topical conferences will be the place for individual presentations.
