Hello, Mr. Dillingham, and thank you for reaching out. I'm so glad members of your group are interested in attending the conference. We will make a zoom link available on request to those who are unable for reasons of geography or health to attend, but it is not a hybrid format and those who observe remotely will not be able to ask questions or make comments orally (although they may be able to post questions in the chat). If anyone would like to receive the zoom link, they should indicate this and their reason for not being able to attend in person when they register. 

Thanks again and all best,

Laura

Hello again, Mr. Dillingham,

We've now added a field to the online conference registration form for those who cannot attend the conference in person. Please let folks know that they can request remote access by providing the information requested in that box. And thanks for helping to spread the word about the conference!

All best,
