The best part of conferences… c’mon, admit it… is the networking. The best part of professional organizations… c’mon, admit it… is the networking. We have tons of different networking events planned over the year. We have new methods for engaging using online platforms. These are fun, educational, and did we say… fun!!

We will have a member-driven forum where folks can ask questions, engage with each other and other experts in the field. We will also have sub-forums for specialized conversations.

We will have a book club where the authors are likely to join the conversation, as well. We will a journal club, where research translators and experts in the field will take a specific set of research and facilitate discussions about it. And, we will have other clubs our membership want, as well.

About second quarter 2021, we plan to kick off an onboarding program for those new to the field. More to come on this exciting endeavor.
