*Covid-19 Pandemic Update -- With careful consideration, the Critical Issues America Organizing Committee has made the decision to postpone the Critical Issues America 2021 Conference to Friday and Saturday, April 16-17, 2021. By moving to a later date, it is our intent to allow for more faculty and attendees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and therefore have the option to attend in person and hopefully allow for a plateau of the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in Florida.
We are offering this meeting with Hybrid attendance options. The meeting will be held no matter what -- but it could be converted to virtual only -- if conditions warrant changes.
Virtual only option -- when registering, just choose the remote attendance option. Connection information will be provided prior to the meeting. Recordings and CME will be made available for 90 days.
On-site / in-person option -- when registering, just choose the in-person attendance option. A limited number of on-site seats will be made available on a first come - first serve basis. Please note - the on-site/virtual meeting option is subject to change at any time. If you plan to attend in person -- please register here first then to ensure on-site availability -- then make your travel arrangements. Also, make sure any travel arrangements are refundable because conditions could warrant further limitations or cancellation of the on-site option. Masking requirements will follow local regulations and hotel guidelines and every seat will be properly distanced. On-site registrations can participate on-site or via virtual. Faculty will be mixed -- onsite and virtual. You may be asked to participate from your hotel room at anytime. Attendees will be subject to health monitoring such as temperature checks.
