THANK YOU! On behalf of the National Arrangements Committee for CITE’s first ever virtual conference, I would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s conference. We enjoyed the company of over 300 attendees and your active participation in each session made the experience so much greater. Read on for highlights from the three day event. We’ve heard from many of you that you appreciated how accessible and economical this virtual conference was. Planning a virtual conference was a unique experience with unique challenges, but we learned a lot. CITE will have a lot to build from for future events, no matter the format.
I’d also like to thank all of our presenters who put in the extra work to record their videos in advance, our moderators who volunteered their time in a sometimes challenging virtual format, and our sponsors who once again generously stepped up. Finally, a special shout out to Steven and Evonne – pulling together a virtual conference requires another level of behind the scenes support; this wouldn’t happen without you! It was a pleasure being a part of this unique event, but I can’t wait to participate in person next year in Vancouver. I’ll see you there!
