Virtual 2020 Annual Meeting

This webpage exists as a virtual version of the cancelled 2020 North American Annual Meeting. The original meeting’s page can be found here for those interested.

The 2020 Annual Meeting Program includes the original meeting schedule as well as speaker abstracts. Below, you can find the slides that would have been presented by each speaker, as well as YouTube videos of the talks and other links (if applicable), which you can peruse at your own leisure. Here is the link to the ASL YouTube channel which contains all submitted videos.

If you have any questions or run into any problems, please contact Shannon Miller at the ASL Office at asl@uconn.edu.
