Register HERE for the June 11-June 13 virtual conference!
2021 Conference
While we realize that a virtual conference event can never replicate the experience of in-person lectures, small group discussions, and battlefield excursions, it remains a high priority for us to provide quality programming for our loyal attendees and to allow for continued engagement between the CWI and the general public. Thus, we will be hosting a virtual event running from Friday, June 11 to Sunday, June 13.
This event will feature interactive talks, roundtable discussions, and interviews with scholars, as well as pre-recorded interpretive battlefield experiences, which will be followed-up by live Q&A sessions with the guides. Attendees will be able to engage with the scholars and guides through the assigned event link which will enable them to submit questions and comments during the livestreams.
This virtual event is free of charge; however pre-registration is required, and donations to our new student experience fund are greatly appreciated. This fund is devoted to providing new professional opportunities for Gettysburg College students in the field of battlefield preservation and historical preservation. The fund will also support the expansion of the CWI’s high school scholarship program, which enables gifted high school students from around the country—and across the globe—to attend the CWI’s annual summer conference at minimal cost.
