ABOUT THE EVENT

NAACCR Summer Forum

We are pleased to announce the introduction of the NAACCR Summer Forum June 15-17, 2021. We will not be seeing you in Palm Springs as planned due to continuing COVID-19 concerns.  However, our fully remote experience will offer our traditional high level educational content and member sponsored research in a new venue with plenty of opportunity to network with our colleagues and collaborators. We can’t wait until the NAACCR community can all be together in-person but until then, we are working harder than ever to bring you an awesome scientific FORUM. We plan on bringing everyone together in an on-line platform to make 2021 a brand new year to learn, share best practices, and collaborate in a one-of-a-kind event!

What's the difference?

• The 2021 NAACCR FORUM will take place: June 15 through June 17, 2021 (Tuesday – Thursday)

• We are reserving Friday, June 18th for the NAACCR Business Meeting, Birds of a Feather, and other networking activities.

• Educational sessions will run 1.5 hours – 2.0 hours in length with breaks in between.

• We will have a special session dedicated to interactive poster presentations.

• Mini- Forums on additional topics/special interest will be presented throughout 2021 at no additional cost

• Recordings of sessions will be available for registrants through 2021 which they can access on-demand as their schedule permits.

• Reduced cost compared to our Annual Conference.

​​

What’s the same?

We're bringing the best parts of NAACCR to the FORUM stage.

• Outstanding Plenary Sessions

• Short talks on NAACCR member-submitted content (Breakouts)

• Scientific Posters

• Opportunities for students

• Networking Opportunities

• CEUs

• Awards, recognition, and certification

​​

Why not Palm Springs?

• Member health and safety is paramount!

• Due to continuing COVID-19 concerns, important decisions could not be made in time to ensure adequate planning for an in-person Annual Conference.

• We anticipate that travel and budgetary restrictions will still affect many NAACCR members through 2021.

​​

We look forward to seeing everyone together in Boise, Idaho, June 2022 at our Annual Conference. In the meantime, we will utilize innovative methods to deliver NAACCR’s high-quality content of an in-person conference in this virtual setting.  We hope you will join us for the NAACCR FORUM and take time to learn, renew,

re-focus, and set our sight on an optimistic future for us all in 2021!
