Status
Context
The VIVO Conference is the major annual event for knowledge exchange and networking in the VIVO Community. Regarding the current situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic being a threat to large parts of the world, it seems reasonable to continue with a virtual conference for this year, after our successful 2020 conference. In this task force we will organize this virtual event.
By hosting a virtual event, we hope to engage people who would not typically be able to attend a VIVO Conference.
Objectives
- Organize the technical framework for a virtual conference
- Find a suitable format for this event
- Establish technical and organizational support before, during and after the event.
Deliverables
- a virtual VIVO conference with an attractive program
Suggested schedule
Perhaps the conference can be in mid/late June?
