Whova is a desktop platform and phone app. It is recommended that you download the app when you receive the registration confirmation information. The phone app makes it easy to save seminar choices to your calendar, receive conference notifications, and network with the commu- nity. Logging into the desktop site will make it easy to participate in webinars and live question and answer sessions. As you can see, we have not taken this event lightly, and we strive to continue to bring you member benefits through a time that is difficult to feel the connection of community. The Conference Commit- teemembers have all shown dedication to us by donating their hard work and valu- able time. The committee ismade up Jered McGrath (chair), Samantha Tanner, Shaun Fidler, Gary Johnston, and Tim Kent. They are some of ourmost activemembers that showup every year, and I appreciate them immensely. Please be sure to say thank you to themvia the networking app onWhova.
