WARP 2021 Online Annual Meeting: Unraveling Borders, Weaving Networks
June 18 – June 20
WARP’s Annual Meeting brings members together for education, fellowship, and networking. Because we will be meeting fully virtually on Zoom, we will be able to host more speakers and more attendees than ever before. Please take a look at the schedule below, and you can also view the full meeting program online here.
This year’s meeting is free and open to all to attend. Our program of panel discussions and presentations will be open to the public, and we will also have some “members only” events, such as our Annual Welcome Circle, a Member “Show & Tell”, and “Breakout Rooms” to have time for conversation. If you are interested in attending the full meeting, please become a member here.
