About the Conference and Annual Meeting
This year marks the 45th consecutive annual meeting and conference of the Southern Regional Faculty and Instructional Development Consortium. Each year since its inception, SRFIDC has brought faculty and organizational development professionals in the southern region of the US together for sharing ideas, experiences, new approaches, and collegial concerns affecting our profession and work. This year, like so many other institutions, the conference is virtual and will occur entirely in the all-too-familiar e-learning space of Zoom.

There are 20 minute, pre-recorded asynchronous sessions, which will be available throughout the 3 day conference period, and 50 minute interactive live sessions on Thursday and Friday. In addition to our keynote presentation with Michele DiPietro on Thursday morning, there is also a panel presentation Thursday at noon and the Member's Forum open discussion on Friday morning. Don't forget the closing networking session and raffle at 1 on Friday. Innovative Educators have donated 2 webinar registrations for lucky attendees. Be there to win.
