[Bridges] Bridges 2020 Virtual Conference and Live Workshops

[Bridges conference announcements]

Bridges 2020
Mathematics, Art, Music, Architecture, Education, Culture

We are pleased to announce that we will soon launch a "Virtual Conference" for Bridges 2020. The Virtual Conference will feature regular papers, short papers, workshop papers, the art exhibition, the short film festival, and the poetry anthology. Many Bridges contributors have created enhanced content, such as recorded video presentations, which will be available on a special website for 2020. There will be a built-in discussion forum where visitors can engage with authors and with other participants. We hope this site will give the Bridges family an opportunity to connect with each other, and that it will inspire us for 2021.

We plan to launch the full Bridges 2020 Virtual Conference on August 1st, the day that the in-person conference was originally scheduled to begin. In the meantime, we'd like to advertise one component of the conference immediately. We will be holding a limited number of live 90-minute hands-on workshop sessions, using the Zoom videoconferencing platform. There will be one per day, August 1–4. Free registration is required by July 30th, and some workshops will require you to supply your own materials.
