AIBD moves forward with Summer Conference planning.
“Protect Our Neighbors,” the next phase in Colorado’s reopening plan, is expected to take effect soon.

That means, the AIBD Summer Conference, and ALL of its typical events may move ahead. The event is scheduled for August 13-15. Here’s the proposed schedule.

AIBD agrees with Gov. Jared Polis, “These kinds of activities need a way that they can function without jeopardizing the lives of those who attend.” Therefore, there will be limited seating and other safety policies.

We are also working with the Antlers Hotel to provide a “hybrid” event, giving those who are unable or reluctant to travel, the opportunity to attend virtually.
Chapters relaunch with virtual meetings.
Using AIBD’s new virtual conference platform, Hopin, the AIBD, Central Florida Chapter, led by Joe Sirilla, has released a three-month schedule of virtual meetings.

Tomorrow, designers in Knoxville are meeting virtually to investigate charting a chapter in their town. Meet Jacquilla Gillette, NCBDC Council Member, and others.

A webcam and mic are required to network, but all you need is speakers to attend and listen in. Use a computer or your mobile device.

Check out the Events section of this newsletter and at AIBD.org/events.
