Virtual Conference Update!

The NEARC Board and 2020 Host Committee are excited to announce the following plans to bring you an engaging virtual Fall NEARC conference. We hope that you and your families remain safe and healthy, and that you will join the NEARC Community as we gather to learn, engage, share and connect.

Our virtual event platform is Whova! Whova provides integrated mobile and desktop apps and offers the following to participants:

·    Dynamic personalized schedule
·    Livestream presentations with Q&A
·    Exhibitor/sponsor booths and opportunities for visits and conversation
·    Virtual posters
·    Networking through text chat & video meetups, both scheduled and impromptu
·    Presentation recordings after the event so you can access the sessions you missed!
·    Check out this video about Whova<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.net%2Ftn.jsp%3Ff%3D001NxR41qvnuhs8lxaYScCQjXhO7oCP0DdDM0aNP-JsVu_Ytw5wf83anOdARKoe3H2R72FibQg_IauJo0NKRzYy19YvLznwIdxRVS_4lK5BayYMZuM7tAOpzESDNbTCKbQNudFW5dAimEefOuxsAHA5IYZIA2HzpgM0XSObTgDQNDsIEoAHQfJxGg%3D%3D%26c%3DJuhkdejr3uxf1U3mycpBSw01m6pqtGMIWVRHCcksxPjqR9rS_45X2g%3D%3D%26ch%3DqWu63I-D55vaF853PAzX6ieuREB6d-s5zZrq_zAxCpNJ-QBRgvf23w%3D%3D&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cnearc-l%40listserv.uconn.edu%7C6a4953b260e0404c61e008d863bdb031%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637369013652857159&amp;sdata=XWLrL2%2FFa3GF05VMqe%2F0wrc9oogM7FShgIo3Z2oWMDw%3D&amp;reserved=0>

The virtual conference will be loosely structured like other Fall NEARC conferences including plenary and panel sessions, user presentations, ESRI presentations, posters, vendor interaction, networking opportunities and social events. It will also certainly be different and the host committee is working on some new activities that will be fun and unique to virtual NEARC.



Why Attend Virtual NEARC?

Cost Savings.
·    Lower registration fees and no travel or hotel expenses.
·    Registration: $175 (Professional), $75 (Student), $50 (GIS Ed. Day), $25 (GIS Ed. Day, K-12 educators)
·    Travel Fees: $0 to commute to your office, possibly in your living room, basement, or shed
·    Lodging Fees: $0 to sleep in your own bed
·    This is a deal! Last year, NEARC registration fees ranged from $475 for professionals to $75 for K-12 educators at GIS Ed. Day plus lodging and travel.

Expanded Attendee Base. A virtual conference allows participants to connect with a larger audience, many of whom may not have attended in the past due to travel constraints.

Flexibility. Participants will have access to the full schedule of meetings, either live or recorded, and can move easily between sessions.

Networking Opportunities. A virtual environment provides new opportunities to engage with fellow attendees in real-time chat, discussion forums and one on one video.



Look for the Following in the Next Few Weeks!

1.   Detailed schedule posted at the NEARC website (presenters will hear from us early next week!)
2.   Attendee registration (with opportunity to submit a virtual poster abstract!) including the scholarship application
3.   Additional videos and guides to participating in a virtual conference on Whova (most people enjoy them more than you think!)
4.   Exhibitor/sponsor registration
