The 2021 TAC Conference & Exhibition will be online once again.While we are excited for the TAC community to meet in person when it is safe to do so, the Board of Directors has made a proactive decision that allows us to plan with confidence, rather than bowing to the changing whims of the pandemic. We are committed to sustaining our strong connections despite the need to be physically distant, and will build on the success of our 2020 events by, for example, offering new and different opportunities for networking.
