AGC 2020: An Online Conference
|
CONFERENCE NEWS: The AGC 2020 program is now out. Please visit our AGC 2020 program page to check out the complete session schedule for Monday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 20.
The AGC board has voted unanimously to hold our AGC 2020 meeting (October 18-20) in an online format. This online format responds to the realities of the situation facing many of our attenders, who will find conference travel difficult or impossible in fall 2020. Going online also opens up many new possibilities for us as a community, and our AGC board is determined to take a creative approach in offering several attractive features that leverage our online format.
We will also note that this is a decision for our 2020 meeting only. While we will learn from AGC 2020 and aim to include online components in all future conferences, our hope is to proceed with plans for AGC 2021 in Toledo. Conference Resources
This site now features the following AGC 2020 conference resources.
