[Cyverse.Nappn] Update on NAPPN conference

[Jennifer Clarke]

Hi Members,

In light of the ongoing pandemic we wanted to communicate with you about the upcoming NAPPN Annual Conference. At this time we are planning a hybrid/blended conference with both in person and remote options for attendees. The integration of virtual components is designed to enhance the in-person experience and maximize engagement while allowing those who aren’t ready to travel but still want to experience the conference to do so. Members are encouraged to choose the attendance option with which they feel most comfortable. We will continue to monitor the COVID situation and take all reasonable precautions for safe attendance.

Note that all in-person attendees must be vaccinated and show proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the conference. We have arranged for large rooms to accommodate safe distancing. We will follow all local public health COVID regulations and guidance. We are committed to returning to in-person events in a responsible and safe manner.

Any decision regarding a change in conference format will be made AT LEAST THREE WEEKS prior to the conference dates (February 22-25, 2022).

Best and stay healthy,

The 2022 NAPPN Annual Conference Chairs and Organizing Committees
