Many participants in last November’s IC workshops saw using more technology as a key way forward for our association. IC board members are pleased to offer this opportunity back to you.

 

 

Why a partnership with Learning Times?

 

To ensure a streamlined online presence, Interpretation Canada has partnered with this US company. Learning Times is a leading producer of online communities and conferences, serving organizations with a learning-related mandate. Their clients include BCcampus.ca, Museum-Ed, and Smithsonian Learning.

 

 

Conference Details:

 

There will be six live online sessions, as well as our first-ever online AGM (Annual General Meeting).

 

Registration will give you access to all seven sessions as well as continued access to the recorded sessions for six months. 

 

So if your time zone or daily work prevents you from attending all of the sessions, you will still have access.
