With so many great events being cancelled, and some news of virtual presentations being substituted as mentioned on some ham podcasts, do we have a list of what technical presentations are being offered in a virtual format?

Thank you and 73

"going virtual"??? Well, there are various types of online collaborative services including webinars, webcasts, and peer-level web meetings.
So your question (I think) is where to find a schedule of these?
Good question.
Yes, it would great to watch the speakers lecture online on their forum subjects. I was one of the Hamvention forum speakers, but I'm saving my material for 2021

That is an excellent idea, maybe it'll take some time for the ham community to adapt.  Our radio club has just instituted virtual monthly meetings using Zoom.  This is the wave of the future I think.

The board members of the Central Oklahoma Radio Amateurs (CORA) regret to announce that our in-person Ham Holiday 2020 conference has been canceled. And, the board is pleased to announce that we will be holding a free, virtual, online Ham Holiday 2020 using a Zoom conference and will be streamed online through YouTube on the same July 24/25 2020 weekend.

The goal will be to offer as much of the hamfest experience as we can fit through the Internet. More details will be coming as we get them hammered out.

We'll have the same great forums, some new forums, ARRL leadership, prizes, and more...

If you have some great ideas, you know a sponsor, you are a sponsor, or you want to get involved, send a message to president@hamholiday.com We'd love to have your help create a new genre of hamfest.

Many more details as they get fleshed out.

For more information on the Ham Holiday, please visit the Ham Holiday web page hamholiday.com.

73 - see you next year in person at Ham Holiday 2021
