Creation
At a time when long-standing norms and organizations are crumbling, how are we anchoring ourselves as health sciences information professionals with a strong sense of our core values and skills? How can we meet this moment not with fear, but by imagining the world we want, and confidently working together to build something new?
Attendance Options: This year we are piloting a conference format that is simultaneously familiar and new: virtually via Zoom, or in-person at an official host site for a group viewing of the virtual program.
Conference activities will be primarily virtual, with a full day of virtual continuing education (October 14th) and two full days of virtual conference programming (October 16th-17th) that is accessible to all online.
Attendees are invited to join other conference-goers at one of two official host sites in the region! Official host sites will provide a half day of specialized in-person programming for attendees on October 15th, and they will provide food, hospitality, and group viewing of the virtual conference program on October 16th and 17th.
The official host sites are:
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Michigan
Official host sites will be part of the conference program as options for attendees to elect to view the virtual conference in person with a group, and to take part in an additional half-day of in-person site-specific activities before/after the virtual conference. There is no additional registration cost to the attendees to join an official host site.
