Abstract

After careful consideration and consultation, Council made the difficult decision to hold the 2021 MAC Fall Symposium exclusively online for the safety of attendees. Fortunately, the exclusively online format makes this event accessible to more people, and the format helps to keep registration fees significantly lower, with early bird rates of $45 for members/$55 for nonmembers, late rates of $55 for members/$65 for nonmembers, and $10 for students. In addition, Council approved a series of needbased scholarships, two for professionals and ten for students. Real-time closed captions will provide another boost to accessibility. Due to the larger potential audience, though, attendance is capped at 75 registrants to allow for an intimate atmosphere similar to prior symposia.
