AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting FAQ

The 2022 AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting will be a hybrid meeting. A hybrid meeting offers attendees both virtual components and in-person events. You can choose to attend the meeting in-person in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, or you can attend virtually from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. This truly accessible meeting allows attendees to connect, collaborate, and participate without potential travel or physical space restrictions.
