MAD HATTER 14

Information about this activity was sent to all college presidents early in January. If you cannot get to the Conference, please request that the Faculty Professional Development Office sign up for the Teleconference. If you live within driving distance of Hamilton, you might also consider purchasing a ticket ($20. per seat) for just Dr. de Bono's presentation; tickets available from the Conference Office.

Poster Sessions

One of the criticisms of past ACCC Conferences was that there was no mechanism for delegates to find other participants with a mutual interest in a topic that may not fit with the conference theme or that might be too specialized for a large group session. Thus we have developed Poster Sessions.

Poster Sessions will provide all registrants with an opportunity to interact, network and share ideas, projects, topics and interest areas at ACCC Conference '87. The Poster Session will be held during the breakfast and lunch hours in self-contained spaces. Each delegate presenting a Poster Session will advertise his or her session by displaying a poster on the centrally located notice board.

If you are planning to attend ACCC Conference '87 and are interested in presenting a Poster Session, please contact your College's Information Officer for a copy of the Preliminary Program whch contains a registration form or the ACCC ‘Conference '87 Office (416) 575-2128 for more information.
