The 9th Annual Conference and the Queer & Trans Affirming Professional Certification Program

Hi Jeff, I love this conference and it is such an important space for talking about topics related to relationships that few other mainstream conferences are addressing! I agree that it is a dilemma and an unknown about next year. My vote like the others here is to make it virtual because you can change your mind closer to next May and have a hybrid (in-person and virtual conference) based on where everyone is coming from but you cannot decide in the other direction without some cost or consequence. I also think many things are going to be virtual for at least another year (my reading of the tea leaves) because I think the virus is still mutating (we now have Delta Plus in India) and we may not have seen what it can do in other developing countries. Some of these mutations are also breaking through with vaccinated folks -- that is a huge problem. Overall, planning a virtual conference with an option to go live seems the best of the two worlds. I would love to present again and will send in a proposal when I see the call for proposals. Thank you for asking the community! Vagdevi
