I appreciate ACRM’s future-forward mindset in understanding that we may not know what the future of conference travel may bring, but ACRM is ready.
ACRM is still providing a venue for me to share my research findings, exchange knowledge, obtain continuing education credit, and network, given the uncertainties regarding my state’s and employer’s possible travel restrictions, which may change by October 2020.
ACRM is a dynamic collaboration at the global level with the opportunity to share your research with others regardless of the format.
