As of April 29, the President of the University of Georgia – Athens stated that the school intends to be fully operating in the fall. We understand that a lot could still change before October, and the SPLICE Team and Festival Organizers are in continuing discussion about how to present this conference in innovative ways that will keep participants, audience, and performers safe. We are also exploring alternative venues in and around the UGA campus that would allow for greater social distancing and will be sure to update all participants as the situation develops.
