2020 Annual Conference98th Annual Conference - Higher, Faster, Stronger!Given the growing concerns with the COVID-19 outbreak and the financial and travel limitations that many institutions may be facing, we will be moving our 2020 IACRAO Conference to a virtual format to protect the health and well-being of our colleagues, partners, and the overall community. In efforts to spread out the time commitment to give members the opportunity to attend as many sessions of interest as possible, we have expanded the conference dates over two additional days. The conference will take place on Oct 26th-Oct 30th. We are working hard to develop a program so we may still connect with our colleagues across the state and provide opportunities for learning and development. Please see the conference details below.
