What a busy time! The EMWA Professional Development Committee, the Conference Team, and the Executive  committee are working very hard on organising the virtual conference in November, which we hope will be a unique experience for you. The conference will start with an opening ceremony on Wednesday, November 4. On Thursday, November 5, we will have a variety of activities, including talks on predatory publishing, English sessions, how to work efficiently on your business, an exciting sponsored seminar, the freelance business forum, and the option to attend a mindfulness seminar. The symposium day on Friday, November 5, is about Research Integrity & The Medical Communicator: What We Do When No One Is Watching. The following 2 weeks will be packed with workshops. A big thanks to the workshop leaders who all made extra efforts to adapt their workshops for the virtual world!
