2021 virtual conference

INVITATION

Dear ISSWOV Members,

​

Hope you and your family members are all safe and doing well.

You may recall that we had deferred the 2020 conference to a later date. The Executive Committee in consultation with the Organizers has decided to postpone the conference to 2022 given the prevalent precarious situation, especially in regard to international travel.

All of us were very keen to meet and interact with you all to exchange updates in person about each other’s well-being and new ideas. We are trying to make our wishes come true.

​

​

This is to invite you to a three hours virtual conference on June 28TH  2021 at 3:00 PM (Central European Time). The agenda would be:

1. An address by Dr. George Banks, from UNC Charlotte, on “Virtual Leadership”

2. Another address by Dr. Nicholas Bloom, from Stanford University, on “Why working from home will stick”

3. Presentation of competitive project ideas (see below)
