In exactly two months, the first annual Team HBV Collegiate Conference will be in full swing! I can’t believe that everything is really beginning to come together for this incredible event.
Ying Ying has been working away with the China chapters to ensure that they secure Visas to travel to the US for a week. So far we have three approved!
I have received some outstanding abstract submissions from Chapter Presidents in both the US and China for student presentations at the conference. It will be difficult to choose from them for either oral or poster presentations because all of the work that our Team HBV students do is important and receives recognition. It is my hope that all of our Team HBV students and invited high school students from around the Bay Area can learn from each other and share their best ideas and strategies.
Last week we were brainstorming some ideas in the office about how to engage all of the Team HBV students from around the world during the conference since we are limiting the number of representatives from each chapter to three. We were hoping to employ some social media tactics like facebook, twitter and video blogging to enable students not at the conference to interact with those who were attending. Attendees could upload blogs and their thoughts on the conference. Chapter members could ask questions and follow the conference online. We’re working through some of the details on how this will all come together.
Still working on finalizing the program and inviting speakers…hope to get that all finalized with Ying Ying by the end of the week.
More updates soon!
All the best,
Alena
