MMOPA also is planning a virtual event called MMOPA 2020 LIVE to replace the in-person convention. The event will be live-streamed with hosts broadcasting real-time and a wide variety of presentations, inspirational talks, roundtable discussions and virtual happy hours. While it’s not exactly the same as being there, the event will allow a larger number of members to participate, including a large international contingent. In fact, this may be our best attended convention ever, although it will forever have an asterisk next to it.
One thing for sure, much of this is uncharted territory. Life may never be the way it was. It will be different – maybe not worse, maybe not better. Just different. And those of us game for adapting and not fighting the turbulence are bound to come out the other side in good shape. Just as in flying, sometimes you have to deviate.
As Hamilton put it (as interpreted by Lin Manual- Miranda), “See you on the other side of the war.”
