WSPOS CONNECT 2 the WORLD
Dear WSPOS Family,
We are delighted to invite you to save the date for WSPOS Connect 2 The World, 25th-26th September 2021. After over a year of living under the restrictions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are looking forward to better times ahead with more vaccines now available to help us fight the virus. One thing we have learned at WSPOS since the pandemic began, is that we as a society are very lucky to have such an adaptable community that has embraced the virtual space, from our inaugural Connect meeting last year to our ongoing World Wide Webinar series.
The WSPOS Executive Bureau has the welfare of its members and supporters as its prime concern. With this in mind, and availing of the excellent online tools that have been made available in the last 12 months, we are once again holding a virtual meeting this year. Saturday 25th September will be catered to delegates watching from North American, South American and Central European time zones, while Sunday 26th September will suit delegates in Australian and Asian time zones. However, like last year, ALL Connect 2 the World content will be available to registered delegates and can be viewed in its entirety live and also, through playback after the meeting.
We are planning a truly remarkable experience for you and all our attendees. An opportunity for YOUR voice to be heard, YOUR expertise to shine and YOUR perspective to be appreciated.
Join us for WSPOS Connect 2 The World!!
More information around registration and abstract submission will be available here soon.
Our best wishes and highest hopes for you and yours at this time.
