TAER 2021 Conference Will be Online!!!
March 25-27, 2021
Dear TAER members, colleagues, and friends,
I am formally letting you know that the TAER 2021 conference will be held virtually this March, so please save the date: March 25-27, 2021 - online
We have been released from this year’s conference at the Denton hotel. Don’t fret if you are a fan of Denton. We have promised to hold the conference at the Denton Embassy Suites for the 2023 conference when we can all be safely back together again.
To all those who are submitting to present at the 2021 TAER Conference, all presentations will be done virtually over a ZOOM platform. The Call for Proposals has been sent out. We will need strong proposals for both TSVI, COMS, and VRTs so that we may have at least two-three viable tracks of professional development for the conference. We believe this is going to be a great conference because of our presenters, members, and attendees. We will miss seeing you in person but hope this format will meet your needs in this uncertain time. Please stay current using the TAER website at http://www.txaer.org/, member blasts from AER, and if you are not a member, please join AER/TAER (https://aerbvi.org/membership/) and our TAER Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TxAER/).
Submit Presentation Proposals for the 2021 TAER Conference at this link: http://www.txaer.org/call-for-presentations.html
Deadline for Proposal Submission is December 18, 2020.
We will be meeting soon to set prices and provide opportunities for vendors to be involved with the conference. We are planning on holding a virtual auction like our traditional silent auction. More details to follow.
Keep checking our website: http://www.txaer.org and social media Texas AER Facebook page for upcoming announcements. And plan now to attend the TAER 2021 Conference March 25-27, 2021.
Take care and be safe,

TAER 2021 Conference Still in Planning Stage
Dear TAER members, colleagues, and friends,
I am formally letting you know that the TAER 2021 conference will be held in March, so please save the Date: March 25-27, 2021
The TAER board is working to plan an online virtual alternative for the conference if we are not able to meet face-to-face due to COVID-19. The hotel in Denton has not, as of yet, released us from our obligation to them. We expect that decision to occur in late November or early December
To all those who are submitting to present at the 2021 TAER Conference, we are asking in your submission paperwork your willingness to do your presentation virtually if that ends up being the format of the conference. Watch for a Call for Proposals in your email soon. Regardless of the format, we believe this is going to be a great conference and sharing of ideas because of each of you. I know many of you will put in a lot of work to get your presentation ready for both styles of delivery. We apologize for not being able to give you clarity for the delivery at this time, but as soon as a final decision is made, we will post it on the TAER website, send out email notification, and post it on our TAER Facebook page.
To all the vendors, I want to thank you for your past support to ensure the conference would be a success. I would like you to consider advertising and presenting at the conference in 2021 in either delivery format as a means to reach the population of vision professionals in Texas to promote your products or services.
I want to ask all of you for patience during this time of uncertainty as we wait to determine our options for delivery of the conference. Most of all, I want each of you to stay safe. Follow the guidelines of your city and county to stay healthy.
Keep checking our website: http://www.txaer.org and social media: Facebook page: Texas AER, for upcoming announcements. And plan now to attend the TAER 2021 Conference March 25-27, 2021 in whatever format it is offered.
If the conference is delivered face-to-face, it will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center; 3100 Town Center Trail; Denton, TX 76201.
Take Care,
Michael Munro
