VRA 2022: Social Events

An important part of the conference experience is socializing with colleagues and friends. The VRA Conference Planning team has created several opportunities to mingle in-person and online.In Baltimore, coffee breaks are scheduled throughout the day so you can squeeze in a quick catch-up or introduce yourself to someone new. Other opportunities to get to know the VRA community include the Welcome Reception on Tuesday (5/29) at 5:30 pm ET, the Membership Business Meeting Breakfast on Thursday (5/31) at 9 am, and the Vendor and Poster Session Event on Thursday (5/31) at 3:45 pm. No doubt folks will also linger after the Convocation Keynote on Wednesday (5/30) at 4:30 pm, and the Awards Ceremony and Celebration on Thursday (5/31) at 5:15 pm.Are you looking for a dining companion on someone with whom to visit Baltimore museums and attractions? Stop by the VRA reception desk at the hotel to leave a note on our bulletin board. Or, send a message over the VRA-L if you like to plan ahead.During the online Pre-Conference, we will once again use the VRA Wonder Room (aka VRA Lounge) as our primary online social space. It is also the place to hang out if you are attending the Baltimore Conference remotely or are more comfortable socializing from your room at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel. Do you want to try it out in advance? The VRA Lounge is always open! This week, we will have hosted hours on Wednesday (3/16) and Thursday (3/17) from 5:00-7:00 pm PDT/8:00-10:00 pm EDT. The Wonder Room is accessible via a web browser. If you haven’t visited before, click here to check out our help guide, then click here to enter the VRA Lounge. Participants in the VRA Lounge are expected to adhere to the VRA 2022 Code of Conduct.Keep an eye out for the next VRA 2022 email this Thursday. We will be linking the Attendee Portal to the VRA 2022 website, which you will use to access the Pre-Conference and online/hybrid Conference content.
