The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in pivotal changes in higher education as universities across the country closed campuses to slow the spread of disease. The global shift to online forums resulted in the need to rapidly rethink and reimagine the delivery of traditional in-person events. At Old Dominion University, the authors transitioned their Student Success Conference to a virtual format to prioritize the safety of attendees. In this article, they explore the strategies for adjusting to a virtual conference including benefits and lessons learned.
