ONA22 is a hybrid event, with both in-person and virtual experiences. Some sessions will be available as livestreams and others as audio recordings. All recordings will be available on-demand for later reference.
A volunteer Program Committee from diverse backgrounds selects the majority of conference sessions from the Suggestion Box, our public call for pitches. We will post the initial schedule for the conference by early June and will continuously populate through August. In the meantime, we hope the outline below will be useful for your planning purposes.
