We’re pleased to share the first look at the program for our upcoming Annual Meeting online and in Portland, Oregon! 

Preliminary Program

This year, AFS is offering up to two days of dedicated virtual programming, October 11-12, in addition to a four-day, in-person gathering in Portland, Oregon, November 1-4. AFS will also offer virtual access to some Portland-based programming in the form of streamed keynotes, a limited number of hybrid sessions, and more session recordings.

You can browse the preliminary program now to see what is currently planned, but the schedule will be subject to change. We’re still working on developing programming that we look forward to adding throughout the summer.

If you are presenting this year, you have until July 25 to review your presentation details and submit any corrections or change requests.
