GSA Annual Meeting 2020
Event Details

GSA has held an Annual Meeting every year since 1888, despite pandemics, the Great Depression, and both World Wars.
 
This year will be no different, but it will be hosted 100% online and will consist of a combination of live presentations (keynotes) and pre-recorded live sessions (technical sessions with live Q&A) as GSA presents GSA 2020 Connects Online.

Connects Online Platform
 
The hub of GSA 2020 Connects Online is a virtual lobby where you can sign in, have a look around, and explore the meeting's opportunities.
 
From the lobby you can head into the auditorium, tech session rooms, the GSA HQ booth, and even a lounge where you can meet up and chat. Each session’s recorded videos will be polished, and you can watch them ahead of time to plan any questions you might have during the live Q&A. Look for more information and webinars about navigating the platform as the meeting gets closer.
