In many ways, the production of the Conference will be very similar to how we’ve done it in the past. The big exception of course is, this time without a live audience! The entire audience will be watching the Conference from the comfort of their homes much like how attendees at our satellite venues have for many years.
Conference producer, Jim Ruddy, will again provide his skills, his sense of humor, and his superb technical crew. At his recommendation, the event will be based at the Camden Opera House (pandemic conditions permitting), where the necessary bandwidth and equipment are available. The moderator will be on the familiar stage of the Opera House, and the speakers from around the world will be using an advanced version of Zoom in their offices or other sites. The tech crew in Camden will integrate the Zoom video and audio from the various locations into the live feed from Camden, resulting in a viewing experience similar to watching high-quality television. As always, our audience will be able to ask questions of our speakers, this year through email.
Sure, there are some special challenges for this year’s Conference but Jim Ruddy and the production staff are looking forward to meeting these challenges as we move forward. As always, the show must go on!

Members also help us open our programming up to students, from high schools to colleges and universities, giving them a worldview that they might not otherwise have.
