The APA is trialing a new approach where one of its three annual meetings will be held online each year, starting with the Central meeting in 2024. This initiative addresses environmental issues and aims to provide better access for those unable to attend in person. Organizing virtual conferences poses unique challenges, but the APA is dedicated to making it a success. Participation is crucial to gauge community engagement and the overall efficacy of this format for the philosophy community.
This year, it's the Central meeting that goes online, followed by the Pacific and then the Eastern in 2027. The program is now online.
The motivations for going online stem from environmental concerns and enhancing access for those who find it difficult to attend in person.
This experiment is a significant undertaking, combining the efforts of various committees and staff to ensure the virtual conference's success.
We are uncertain whether attendees will engage as they do in person. Success relies on participation beyond presenting their own talks.
