RDA is pleased to announce the candidates nominated for the 2020 Technical Advisory Board (TAB) election.

Virtual Plenary 16 (VP16) Poster Session - New Developments including Deadline Extension

With over 70 breakout session applications received for RDA's 16th Plenary, we are excited to announce that a rich programme will be available on 26 September.  Registration, with a conservative fee for virtual participation, will be launched soon.  The virtual events platform that will be used to facilitate VP16 has been selected, which will integrate all technical aspects of the meetings (meeting delivery methods, networking and scheduling).  Meeting presenters can expect to receive information in the upcoming weeks regarding the platform, specifically related to its functionality and available training and support.

Hello RDA Community.  It is that time again! We are excited to open the Call for Sessions for Virtual Plenary 16 (VP16).

As announced in prior weeks, we are unable to confirm a face-to-face plenary will take place in Costa Rica due to COVID-19 concerns.  Instead, a virtual plenary (VP16) is scheduled to take place from 9-13 November 2020.
