Our plan. ACVO will be providing an innovative ‘hybrid’ conference format, serving both in-person and on-demand attendees.

In-Person. ACVO is submitting for ‘live, interactive’ R.A.C.E. credit for both in-person and on-demand sessions. The in-person sessions will provide approximately 16-20 hours of ‘live credit’, (pending R.A.C.E. approval). In-person attendees will also have On-Demand access.

On-Demand. The on-demand platform will provide on-demand sessions and limited live Q&A sessions with in-depth, keynote and residents’ workshop presenters. On-demand attendees will be able to begin viewing presentations Friday, October 8th. Dates to be posted soon. The on-demand sessions will likely offer approximately 6 hours of ‘live credit’, and 15 + ‘anytime credit’, R.A.C.E. approved. (R.A.C.E. approval is expected but pending until this summer).

Registration is open for the ECVO 2021 conference (20th-23rd May).
