AATA 2021 Conference Your Way: As we continue to monitor the global Covid-19 pandemic AATA will once again develop a contingency plan for an “all virtual event” if the situation requires it. If we go forward with the conference in San Diego sessions will be recorded onsite and we will also hold a post virtual conference so that regardless of your attendance interest both options will be available.
