It has a different look this year. We have taken the challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and turned them into opportunities by making the annual meeting a virtual late August of 2020, when the worldwide pandemic forced the cancellation of the annual meeting in Cape Town, the TIAFT Board understood that an annual meeting must still occur.
2 Despite the shortened window to plan and execute the event, we knew it was possible to do just as Phileas Fogg knew it was possible to travel the world by hot air balloon in Around the World in 80 Days. But unlike Phileas, we did not have a wager in place to motivate us, but instead were driven by the desire to bring our TIAFT members together once it is 2022 now, so instead of 80 days, you will get to travel the world with your friends and professional colleagues in just three days through our program themed Around the World in 80 Talks.
3 I hope you will take full advantage of the engaging scientific presentations, top-notch vendor sessions, and creative networking opportunities. Additionally, there will be ceremonies, celebrations, and awards typical of all our TIAFT Annual Meetings. Keep in mind that as we travel the world, we will engage with different time zones, so the event will be available live and on demand for 3 months post the 58th Annual Meeting of TIAFT. And please remember that our 59th Annual Meeting is later this year in Versailles, France when we hope to join each other once again at an in-person A.
