Coffee Chats are a new addition to ACES virtual conference. Coffee chats will be 30-minute small group sessions scheduled between educational sessions each day of the conference.
This is an excellent opportunity to connect with editors within your specialty and share new perspectives to further your professional development.
Each small group will focus on specific topics within the editing world and give participants a chance to share, connect and learn from one another. Coffee chats are included with registration and require sign-up at the time of registration.
Registrants may choose multiple coffee chats. Please limit your top 3-4 choices, as attendance per chat is limited. This will maximize the opportunity to attend for all conference attendees. Coffee Chat registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. ACES reserves the right to close Coffee Chat registration once capacity is reached
Coffee Chats will be hosted and run as live events and will not be recorded or available for future reference.
