Conferences and COVID
Greetings all those keen to get out there and conquer. For now we will need to stay at home and plan our conquering. Many conferences have been cancelled or postponed. Some summer and fall conferences are still going ahead, but this can change. For now, if there is an event you want to go to and it goes ahead, always plan for your health and safety first. Be well!
Get out there
So, this section is called conferences, but in reality there are many ways we 'mobilize knowledge'. Other events may include: workshops, trade-shows, colloquia, and round-tables. There are SO many opportunities for you to go out beyond VIU's walls to learn and share knowledge. Please see the list of opportunities below for some options.
