The below schedule is reflective of current planning for a hybrid conference with some sessions held in-person and other virtually. However if circumstances change due to public health recommendations for group gatherings, then all portions of the conference will be held virtually. Please check the conference website for updates.  

Schedule times are Eastern Standard for the event location and any sessions before 10:30 a.m. are only available in-person. If the conference transitions to a virtual only event, sessions scheduled before 10:30 a.m. will be reassigned to a later time.  

Due to contractual agreements made in October 2019, our 2022 Annual Conference conflicts with the federal holiday, Juneteenth National Independence Day. President Biden signed in law making this a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, and the CSTE National Office adopted and has since observed Juneteenth since February 17, 2021. As an organization committed to creating a community that is respectful of all, we will make every reasonable effort to allow attendees to enjoy the federal observed holiday while attending the 2022 Annual Conference. Going forward when planning future meetings including the annual conference we will avoid dates that conflict with Juneteenth or any holiday. More information on activities and events commemorating Juneteenth during the 2022 Annual Conference will be forthcoming. Additionally, select live sessions on Monday, June 20, 2022 and throughout the conference will be recorded and available for on-demand viewing at an attendee’s leisure for up to three (3) months after the conference dates. Any questions and concerns can be directed to the CSTE National Office ([email protected]).

Sessions Scheduling Format Definitions

Some sessions are held at the same time, but the virtual and in-person sessions will be separate sessions with distinct speakers and content, with the exception of the live stream sessions. Virtual attendees will not be able to participate in in-person breakout or roundtable sessions. 

Break and lunch periods are concurrent for both in-person and virtual attendees. A morning beverage refreshment and afternoon snack are included with your registration fee for in-person attendance and depend on facility social gathering guidelines. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are NOT included with registration for in-person attendance. Virtual attendees do not receive refreshments, snacks, or any food and beverage, materials, or promotional items that are available to in-person attendees, including conference t-shirts.  

Participating or Presenting in a Virtual Session but Attending In-Person?

There will not be dedicated meeting space at the Kentucky International Convention Center for presenting authors or moderators to facilitate virtual breakouts, roundtables, or workshop during the conference or for attendees to participate in virtual sessions. If you are giving a virtual presentation, moderating a virtual session, or joining a virtual session while attending the conference in-person, it is recommended to do so from your hotel room to help minimize distractions and background noise. All hotel rooms booked within the CSTE block receive complimentary in-room internet access.
