Abigail Goben<p>Whether we'll be able to join together in person in 2027 or find other ways to connect -- community building among data professionals continues to be critical. But I'm proud of <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RDAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RDAP</span></a> and doing our best to care for our community. <br>(7/7)</p>
Abigail Goben<p>I'm very grateful to the 2026 Conference Planning Committee who had found locations and done a *ton* of work already trying to prepare for next year. They now have to pivot but we at least know much better how to do online conferences.

Abigail Goben<p>I also know there were financial considerations, as there would be with any in person conference and yes -- I'd prefer my org to stay fiscally responsible. And that meant making a decision and not ending up in a sunk cost situation (5/) <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RDAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RDAP</span></a></p>
Abigail Goben<p>The daily compounding concerns led to conversations -- at least some of which I was part of as a committee chair and a worried member -- and I deeply appreciate what RDAP Leadership did with getting feedback and making thoughtful decisions (4/) <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RDAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RDAP</span></a></p>

Abigail Goben<p>As an individual -- one who deeply misses the community of that national group -- I am sad and frustrated. But those emotions aren't at my organization, who is showing care and responsibility, it's at the larger federal situation driving this.

Abigail Goben<p>The Research Data Access Preservation Association Summit 2026 was supposed to be our first conference back in person. I was *so very excited* to see and hug friends who last I saw in March 2020 in New Mexico. We got the announcement late last week that we're moving it to online.
