Welcome to SVIA’s first virtual Fall Forum!

This year has certainly been one for the books. Our Spring Seminar wound up cancelled due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and at the time we optimistically thought we’d be fine to go ahead with a Fall Forum in Washington DC this October. After all, it was more than half a year away still, that whole pandemic thing would blow over by then right?

Here we are, in September, and the end is sadly not in sight. Fortunately we’ve had plenty of time since the cancellation of our Spring Seminar to make contingency plans, and we’re all set to go ahead with this year’s Fall Forum virtually. We researched and demonstrated a number of different platforms before settling on the one that we feel will best replicate all the important parts of the Fall Forum.

While we know attendees appreciate the number of varied and thoughtful sessions that the events committee comes up with each year, we felt it would be somewhat flat without the opportunity to meet up with your fellow attendees and maybe even say hello to some new industry colleagues you haven’t met yet. The event platform we settled on does an excellent job of facilitating meetings and even allowing for networking. We’re excited for you to get to try it out!

We’ll be sending out more information closer to the conference, so keep your eyes peeled for an email from us, and we hope to see you there!
