Extended length

• ​Over 30 conference sessions and breakouts on Saturday and Sunday
• Lunches and coffee break refreshments provided, as well as an evening banquet with entertainment on Saturday
• Want more cohousing? Conference registrants can add a tour or workshop on Friday!

More presenters

• We are excited to have speakers confirmed from across Canada and the US, ranging from Seattle to Nova Scotia and many places in between.

Larger venue

• All three days will be held at the Croatian Cultural Centre (just 6 blocks from the Commercial-Broadway Skytrain Station), which allows us to host a much larger group of conference attendees. 

Tours

• We heard your feedback from 2018: This year, we're providing transportation via bus for the tours.  It'll be convenient, informative (thanks to our local guides) and fun (thanks to your fellow conference attendees!).  Capacity is limited, so be ready to book early.​

Workshops

• ​Looking to hone your group process skills? In addition to holding tours, you have the choice to add one or two half-day workshops with Laird Schaub on Friday.

Participatory (and fun!) learning at the 2018 conference
