Keep the unconference format - use breakout rooms or other small group activities/discussion

How can we help the virtual experience be fulfilling for you? (E.g. provide a slack workspace to chat with other attendees, etc.)

Are there any particular topics you’d like to see in the call for proposals or for breakout sessions?

The UW-Madison planning committee is willing to help plan the virtual conference, however, we welcome anyone else who is interested. If you are interested in and able to commit to helping plan the virtual conference, please include your contact information below:
