Hello,
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and travel/large gathering restrictions, AIRA postponed our 2020 National Meeting. We’ve been busy thinking through how to plan for a National Meeting in 2021 that takes into consideration the safety of our members and the IIS community plus workloads that have already increased and are sure to get even heavier after vaccine starts to be distributed. While we do plan to have a meeting in 2021, we still don’t know if it will be in person, virtual, or a mix of both.
One decision we have made about next year’s meeting is regarding abstracts. We understand you’re under a lot of pressure and we want to avoid placing any additional burden on you, so there will not be a traditional call for abstracts as in previous years. AIRA is working to create a meeting agenda that will give you the opportunity to collaborate with your peers in the IIS community to advance IIS together. Stay tuned for more information on our planning work and ways you can help us achieve our goals of collaboration at the AIRA 2021 National Meeting.
As we move forward with our planning work and building a meeting agenda, we’d love to hear from you and get your input. If you have any suggestions or questions about the AIRA 2021 National Meeting, email Carmela Gupta.
Thank you,
