which should be of interest to many at the BIC. It will take place in Montreal May 17-18 at the CRIUGM on Queen Mary Road. The cost of registration ($125 + tax, EventBrite link below) is quite modest and heavily subsidized, and includes a 3-course dinner at
Gibby’s in Old Montreal, as well as all meals and refreshments during the conference. It will be a great opportunity to network with colleagues from all over Canada, and some international attendees!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registration is open to all, and the deadline to register is April 15. We hope you can join us!</p>
