Whova

We use the Whova app as our go-to resource for communication at our conference. It is where you will find the live conference agenda, get the most recent updates, and connect with other attendees. We will be launching the Whova event very soon and will alert attendees when it goes live. 

Map Gallery 

The map gallery reception will be held the evening of Wednesday, July 8th. If you would like to share your map, there is no need to pre-register and there are no size limitations. We accept physical and digital maps, but you should come prepared to share digital maps on your own laptop or tablet.
