AISES has been and will continue to monitor the ever-changing, daily developments with the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic and any potential impact it may have on the 2020 AISES National Conference. Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our members, partners, employees, and the communities that we serve. AISES is planning for an in-person conference in October, but is working to determine all possible options, pre-event precautions, and proactive practices and updates surrounding 2020 AISES National Conference. This could include hosting a virtual conference or a hybrid in-person/virtual conference. During the submission stage for research or session proposals, presenters will be asked a couple questions regarding permission to record presentations and if you are equipped to present remotely.
