Plans are underway for our 68th Annual Meeting, to be held in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 through Saturday, 2 April 2022. The submissions portal for Dublin 2022 will open on July 1, and the deadline for submissions is August 10. Please familiarize yourselves with the submission guidelines. Members may now post CFPs on the RSA website.
We know that travel to Dublin will not be possible for everyone and that is why we have decided to schedule a special RSA virtual event to be held in early December 2022. This event will have a broad theme and will feature session formats that are especially successful online, such as workshops, lightning rounds, and seminars with pre-circulated materials. Please view the announcement here.
