From the President and CEO
With optimistic news on access to vaccinations, implementation rates and a decline in the spread of COVID-19, CGP is preparing to make its decision about holding the 2021 CGP Conference as scheduled at the Rosen Centre in Orlando, FL, Oct. 4-6. CGP has intentionally delayed making this decision with the hope the environment will allow us to gather again in person. Our primary focus will always be the safety of our members. The Rosen Centre has recently reopened to meetings and is a certified Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR Facility. The Rosen Centre is dedicated to following all recommended safety protocols for their events as determined by current conditions at the time of the conference.
Here is what we know now and what you can expect in the coming weeks.
CGP 2021 Virtual Conference
CGP will present a virtual conference this fall, whether or not we also hold an in-person conference. The CGP 2020 Virtual Conference was a great success, and we are making plans for an even better virtual conference this year. CGP will offer the best education on a high-quality customized platform to provide quality learning experiences and the opportunity for real-time engagement with fellow attendees. We will continue to expand the definition of a conference, offering opportunities to engage and learn with colleagues beyond the event and provide access to all sessions and materials throughout the year for attendees.
CGP Conference Timeline
March 15: Call for presentations opens. Proposals will be considered for both live and virtual presentations.
April 15: CGP Conference announced and registration opens.
April 16: Call for presentations closes.
We are excited about the prospect of coming together again in Orlando on Oct. 4-6. There is no substitute for personal interaction, sharing and learning and we hope this is the year we can gather again. We look forward to announcing the 2021 CGP Conference plans on April 15.
Michael Kenyon
President and CEO
