Conference and Convention
2020 VISION: Virtually Interacting Through Information Sharing, Opportunities, and
Networking
Welcome
This year’s conference and convention looks different, but we’ve also kept
many of the in-person favorites. Conference presentations, including the
annual business meeting and auction, will take place on the Zoom webinar
platform. We will provide the link to join via Zoom to all registered attendees. The 2020 conference is also streaming on ACB Radio’s Live Event
Channel. If you have an Amazon-enabled device, ask her to open ACB Radio
Live. You can also listen to the Live Event channel on your Victor Reader
Stream, the ACB Link smartphone app, or from your web browser of choice,
visit ACBRadio.org/Live (link is external). Listen to ACB Radio on the telephone by calling (518) 906-1820. Select option six for the ACB Radio Live Event channel.
