Why is the cost so much lower for the virtual meeting?
· We were able to negotiate a deferral of our conference hotel contract at the Delta Waterloo to October 14-16, 2021. Therefore, there are no fees associated with cancelling the in-person meeting for 2020.
· There are no costs of food and drink.
· There is no subsidizing of the social events typically held at the meeting.
What is the virtual conference fee being used for?
· Honorariums for plenary speakers
· Cost of social networking platform to ensure ample opportunities for interaction with other attendees (gather.town)
· Post-conference statistics workshop for students on using R (no additional fee for students)
