Planning and organizing for a successful 2021 AHTA/IPPS joint annual conference continues. We are monitoring the ongoing national and international response to the spread of COVID-19. We are optimistic that the conference will occur as scheduled. If an in-person conference is not advisable, we will offer the conference in an alternative format.
