Online-Only International Conferences: Strategies for Maintaining Community
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v65 n4 p418-420 Jul 2021
While many academic conferences are transitioning to online events, this article aims to share several strategies used by the organizers of a well-established online-only conference. The Teaching, Colleges, and Community (TCC) Worldwide Online Conference recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. After a brief review of TCC's history, four strategies that organizers have identified as helping conference goers feel oriented, welcomed, connected and engaged are described. These strategies include offering a "pre-conference" orientation, including regional keynote speakers, creating opportunities for informal exchange, and encouraging participation with digital credentials.
