| Plans for Virtual Connect around March/April 2019 | Ryan Steans, Chrissy Rissmeyer | (Chrissy cannot call in until 9 am Pacific, adding written update beforehand just in case.) - This year's Virtual Connect will be held via Zoom webinar on Tuesday, April 23 and Wednesday, April 24 (starting at 8am PDT / 11:00am Eastern / 4pm BST) The event will be held over 2 days and organized into tracks. Each day's event will be approximately 90 minutes (instead of a 1-day, 3-3 1/2 hour event).
- This change is in response to community feedback received following the past 2 years events. Additionally, we hope the shorter duration will make it easier for those in the UK to attend most of the event during regular business hours.
- A combined save-the-date and call for proposals will be sent to the community early next week.
