Hosted on an interactive virtual platform, the EFA’s Virtual EFA Conference & 55th Anniversary Celebration’s planning team is working intentionally to recreate the natural collaboration and interactions that exist in in-person formats. The event will include virtual meet-up opportunities, networking games, and the ability to chat with speakers and other guests in conference “hallways.”
