Participating in regional events is a great way to connect with other members of Sigma Tau Delta, make new professional contacts, expand your knowledge, and gain valuable experience presenting papers. The transition to virtual and hybrid events also offers the unique opportunity of increasing access to members who are not within easy travel distance of their region’s event. Many regions also encourage participation from members outside of their region. View upcoming events on the Regional Events page. Check back often for new developments.
