Lastly, on Wednesday afternoon, we're hosting an in-person closing session / staff mixer at the Alumni & Visitors Center from 2:00-3:30 p.m. There will be snacks, bevvies, and a fun activity led by members of our conference planning committee. Please >>> RSVP<https://forms.gle/NTjDnmRYswEqxrKWA> to let us know if you can make it so that we can provide an accurate head count for catering. Space is limited to 150 attendees, so please register for the closing session – but ONLY if you actually plan to come!

We do hope you'll brave the wild and wooly outdoors to come celebrate with us, together with your friends and colleagues. Community-building is more important than ever in a remote and hybrid work environment!
