</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Over 350 attendees participated in the first Evergreen
International Online Conference held June 9 through 11.<span> </span>Always quick to adapt, the open source
community of Evergreen users moved to an online conference as a late
substitution for the in-person Evergreen International Conference that had been
scheduled for April in Atlanta but was cancelled due to the pandemic.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Most of the original presenters moved their programs online,
plus the program included some interest group discussions and even a virtual
happy hour to allow participants to mingle online in a more social setting.<span> </span>Sessions included OPAC usability, reports,
security, database updating, self-check and coming enhancements.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The average registrant attended six online sessions among
the 23 sessions presented in two simultaneous tracks over three
afternoons.<span> </span>The conference also included
a keynote by John Rempel. John oversees initiatives related to digital
accessibility and user experience (UX), including the AccessGA and Web
Accessibility Group (WAG), services to Higher Ed, non-profits and industry in
Georgia and across the country.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The sessions were recorded and are now available on The
Evergreen Project YouTube channel in accessible format.<span></span></p>
