Here is a summary of the results from the questionnaire that we sent out earlier this month to gauge interest in a virtual version of our annual Fall Conference. The message from the data is clear; there is interest in a virtual conference this year, and the most popular schedule choice is our usual keynote followed by breakout sessions. The most popular day of the week was Friday, which was surprising (in the past, for live events, we’ve always focused on days earlier in the week, usually Mondays and Tuesdays).
The summary below doesn’t represent all of the data collected. One question was not designed properly, resulting in responses that were meaningless, and we haven’t included comments added by some respondents.
The TAC Organizing Committee was uncertain about how to proceed this year given the situation with the global pandemic. With this data in hand, the committee will now start considering our options for a Fall Conference. Stay tuned for more updates!
