Virtual Symposium | October 10^th

This year, we’re trying something new, with the conference being held in person on the above dates, with the AGM, Exec meeting and Sounding Board being the only hybrid components. Then, we’ll host a virtual symposium day on October 10th for those who wish to present virtually, including a conference sum up, poster presentations and more.

Many thanks to our conference sponsors:

Founded in 1889, the University of New Mexico sits on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo of Sandia. The original peoples of New Mexico Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache since time immemorial have deep connections to the land and have made significant contributions to the broader community statewide. We honor the land itself and those who remain stewards of this land throughout the generations and also acknowledge our committed relationship to Indigenous peoples. We gratefully recognize our history.
