Please note that due to Covid-19, there will be no in-person annual conference this February 2021. We are reimagining SEA with a variety of virtual programs all year long that will still allow you to connect with the presenters that have become the heart and soul of SEA. Check out our 2020-21 Programming for more details. More programming will be added throughout the year.
