I am just attending this year. Great to see many familiar names at the various sessions. I attended the HCV surveillance workshop on Sunday. And jumping between the viral hepatitis and Covid surveillance sessions the rest of the week. There are too many interesting sessions at once!
Jessica Arrazola, Director of Educational Strategy at CSTE
It is great to see your faces during the sessions.  It is really nice to hear you speak up, especially while so many remain quiet.  I am looking forward to another great day!

How was everyone's conference experience? Did you like the virtual format?  How did your presentations go? Any lessons learned or ah ha moments you want to share with the group?  The prerecorded sessions will remain available to access until September if you missed them. 
Ying Zhang, Senior Scientist
I really like that we can go back to watch the recorded sessions. I moderated one extremely busy session, busy like 55-minute long recordings in a one-hour long session. But since the presenters and the audience can interact in "Q & A" while the recordings were played, we turned out having most questions answered by the end. Overall, I am very happy with technologies at the annual conference. I also hope that CSTE will keep some virtual features (such as ad-hoc access to recorded sessions) for future conferences.
