We think we have a fabulous line-up for 2010. We hope you'll agree.
While we aren't going to try to fix a format that is working very well, there have been a few important improvements.
Improvements from the conference centre staff:
1. Dorm rooms now have keys for each person in the room.
2. Keys will be given out when you register; no need to go to the conference office.
3. We now have a vegetarian option for meals. There's a place on the registration form for you to let us know.
4. We'll continue to have coffee served in both the FULLER Lounge and in the OKE Room in the basement of the new Ministry Building.
Improvements in the schedule:
1. We now have a designated prayer room – the HANCOCK Room.
2. Prayer time for the conference has been moved from during registration to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
3. We have a new "How to Register" checklist you can follow.
4. We've invited image consultant Diane Callender back due to popular demand.
5. We've moved the Saturday morning workshop to 9:30 a.m. so the continuing class will be held just before and after lunch, without the workshop in the middle.
6. We've added a special half hour on Friday evening just before the plenary for The Word Guild's Managing Director to talk about "Why Canada Needs The Word Guild."
7. On Thursday evening, following the plenary, we've invited one of the founders of The Word Guild and directors of Write! Canada, N. J. Lindquist, and the Chair of the Board, Les Lindquist, to lead a hands-on session called "A Vision for Canada."
8. We've separated our "Brag Times" from our plenaries on Thursday and Friday. (More information in the registration package.)
