The attendance at the EDAA conference was approximately 170 and usually is 400 or more. The EDAA group is like family for my wife, Rachel, and me since we have been attending for over 20 years. It feels weird to social distance and wear masks at the summer conference when I’m used to handshakes and hugs.
EDAA and Gulf State Park staff did an excellent job managing the conference. Social distancing signage was displayed throughout the conference center and was enforced and adhered to by the attendees. I felt safe and comfortable during the conference because everyone wore masks during the sessions and networking breaks.
Below are photos of the event, including our exhibit booth. Also, we enjoyed an afternoon of deep-sea fishing. Here’s hoping we have a vaccine soon so we can get back to normal.
