Enjoy the “virtual” experience

The AbSPORU Virtual Institute 2020 is designed to offer a rich experience with excitement, interaction and momentum.

Delivered online over 6 weeks this fall, the AbSPORU Virtual Institute 2020 will feature synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (independent) activities and networking opportunities meant to simulate the experiences that people value most about in-person events.

Not in-person, but VIRTUALLY together!
