While the current dates for GIFTSym8 are still 27-29 May 2020, we are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and the potential impact on those dates. Due to uncertainty surrounding travel restrictions and rules for large gatherings in the coming months, we are exploring alternative means for hosting this event virtually. This will include identifying engaging methods for delivering a presentation and promoting conversation during and after. More details will be provided in the coming week.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to Ben Goldberg at benjamin.s.goldberg.civ@mail.mil. We appreciate your support. We couldn't do this without you!
Please stay safe and healthy!
Due to the ongoing stay-at-home orders and the impact those have had on the GIFT development team verifying the upcoming GIFT 2020-1 release, we have decided to move the release date from the end of April to the end of May.
We will continue to keep the GIFT community posted if anything changes.
