Welcome!

Glad you are here

Welcome to the most exciting week of the year in lifelong learning!  This is the only conference where you can meet and get fresh ideas from lifelong learning professionals in institutions other than your own. Enjoy the interaction.

Attendance UP
  We are delighted to have 800 people this year, exceeding our budget by over 100 attendees!  You come from New Zealand, Bermuda, West Indies, all over Canada and the United States. And we have 15 exhibitors here for you.

Recommended Sessions
   All our sessions are good, but not all may be relevant to you. So we have suggestions for sessions, especially relevant for first time attendees. You will find them on your conference app, and in the Conference Notebook.
