About the Conference

The theme for CASC’s 2011 Conference is Change, a constant in the science centre field. Science and technology are constantly changing, our audience demographic is changing, and our workforce is changing. Sessions will focus on how are we meeting these challenges of change across all facets of our organizations.

The 9th Annual Conference will be hosted by Science North in Sudbury with anticipated attendance of more than 100 delegates. This 3-day conference will include a pre-conference activity, more than 20 learning sessions, a keynote speaker, and events including a welcome reception, a trade show (Friday, June 10) and the national awards gala dinner (Saturday, June 11).
All events are geared towards facilitating practical innovations in the development, delivery and support of science engagement activities. Individuals from all areas of informal learning are welcome to participate.
And if you still need more convincing, Science North has just undergone a major redevelopment of its science centre. CASC delegates will be among the first to see it in action!

Présentation de la conférence
Le thème de la conférence 2011 est Le changement, un élément constant du secteur des centres de sciences. La science et la technologie sont en constante évolution, le profil démographique de notre public cible change, et notre main-d'œuvre est en mutation. Sessions will deal with comment nous pouvons répondre à ces défis du changement à travers toutes les facettes de nos organismes.

La 9e conférence annuelle aura lieu à Science Nord, à Sudbury, et nous y attendons plus de 100 délégués. Cette rencontre de trois jours comprendra une activité avant le début de la conférence, une série d’ateliers, un conférencier principal, une réception d’accueil, un salon des exposants (le vendredi 10 juin) et notre banquet et soirée de gala de remise de prix nationaux (le samedi 11 juin).

Tous les aspects de la conférence sont orientés vers les innovations pratiques en matière de développement, de présentation et de soutien des activités d’engagement dans les sciences. Les personnes venant de tous les domaines de l’apprentissage informel sont les bienvenues.

Et si vous avez encore besoin d'arguments, Science Nord, vient de subir un réaménagement majeur de son centre de sciences. Les délégués de l'ACCS seront parmi les premiers à le voir en action!
