OCALICON 2020: Get a Front Row Seat: We’re Going Virtual

OCALICON 2020 Featuring Inclusive Education Leadership Institute

OCALI Now – June 2020

Change, uncertainty, and flexibility.

These are all words we are very familiar with these days—quickly adapting our professional, personal, and home lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. These are also words our OCALICON team has been grappling with as we continue to plan for OCALICON 2020.

Throughout the planning process, your health and safety have remained our first priority.

In light of this and with the ever-changing federal and state-issued guidelines, we do not have complete confidence we will be able to safely gather 3,000+ people in a face-to-face environment. 

This doesn’t mean we’re canceling OCALICON. 

If you haven’t heard the news, we’re excited to announce that we are transitioning OCALICON to a completely virtual experience this year.

While there are still many details to work out, our team is excited at turning the planning upside down and thinking completely outside of the box on how to deliver a ‘best in class’ professional learning event. And, as everyone has come to expect from us, this event will no doubt include our creative, fun, and unexpected flair.

We know you will have questions.

We welcome them. We ask you to give us some time to work out the details, and we will continue to keep you informed as decisions are made. In addition to informing you by email, we will also be sharing updates on our conference website and social media platforms. 

In this time of transition, we want to hear from you. Send us an email with questions, ideas, or concerns. We value your input and your voice.  

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these changes together.
