Statement from GIA regarding the 2021 Annual Conference:
Pivoting to a Fully Virtual 2021 GIA Conference + Postponing San Juan to 2023
We have been eagerly awaiting the start of the 2021 GIA Annual Conference coming this November in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Given the unprecedented times in which we are living and working – and the importance of prioritizing the health and safety of our hosts, our team, and our members conference participants – we had designed this year’s conference in a hybrid model, allowing for both in-person or virtual participation.
Considering the emotional stress, increasing anxiety, and stricter travel measures our members have expressed surrounding this new phase of the coronavirus pandemic, we at Grantmakers in the Arts have made the difficult decision to pivot to a fully virtual conference in 2021 and postpone to 2023 an in-person conference in San Juan.
