welcome to the slas2021 virtual conference

Welcome to the SLAS2021 Virtual Conference – we’re delighted to be hosting so many delegates for what promises to be an exciting week of presentations, discussions, exhibitions and socialising. This conference is SLAS’s 57th, but the first which has been planned from the start to be an all-virtual event. We’re excited with the opportunities that a virtual event offers, from making participation easier for more people to fostering new forms of interaction. Over the course of the five days, we have 34 panels, 2 workshop discussions, 7 roundtables, 3 ‘meet the author’ events and 2 virtual exhibitions. You may have noticed that some of our panels are open to the public, which is part of our effort to make SLAS conferences more accessible and relevant to a wider audience. We are also creating opportunities to have discussions which include practitioners, artists, authors and community activists. This conference will also inaugurate our SLAS Gather Virtual Conference Centre, which allows mixing, mingling and meeting in a purpose-built 2D space. Scheduled events are allocated a room (we have three event ‘salas’) and you can access these events by entering the room and clicking on the embedded links. You will also find ample space to socialise, from the bar and lounge to the lobby, beach and beyond. We’ve planned in a range of social activities, too, hoping that they will provide you with opportunities to meet more people with shared interests. We hope you enjoy the conference and thank you for joining us in this first experiment with our virtual format. We have created an FAQ document and various orientation and instruction guides, which should help you navigate this virtual event. But if you have any questions, the SLAS welcome desk in the lobby will regularly have staff to answer questions (see the joining instructions for the full schedule), SLAS committee members (identified by ‘SLAS Committee’ after their names) are happy to help and you can always email [email protected].
