WLA Conference Update from Mark Jocham:
Following up, here’s the update I gave the WLA board on Friday:
84 breakout programs
28 booths sold
58 registrants
The main day for YSS is Wednesday, although there were enough programs submitted that they’ll have some on the other days. The program schedule should be available no later than the end of the month and the early bird deadline is 10/25, so they still have plenty of time to register at the low rate once the schedule is out. If attendees need a room they should reserve one soon because those will go quickly.
Please remind YSS folks to complete a presenter agreement form (the link is contained within the program acceptance email) as soon as possible. Another piece of information you can share with YSS is the conference COVID policy:
2021 WLA Conference COVID-19 Policy:
The WLA Conference Committee is pleased to confirm that the 2021 WLA Annual Conference will be held in person at the Hyatt Regency and KI Convention Center in Green Bay.
The safety and wellbeing of guests and colleagues is always a priority at the Hyatt Regency and KI Convention Center. Several precautionary measures have been implemented, including:
Masks required in all public areas of the hotel.
Round tables, such as those for luncheons, seat only six per table.
Breakout sessions set theater-style have a three-foot distance between each chair.
While masks are optional in the contracted meeting rooms, conference attendees are strongly encouraged to wear a mask at all times unless actively eating or drinking.
