[BCMA] Interpretation Canada Online Conference: Nov 27-29

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello all--

Interpretation Canada (IC) is a national professional association for 
nature and heritage interpreters and other informal educators and will 
be hosting their fourth annual *National Online Conference on November 
27-29, 2012*. A series of six hour-long sessions will be offered over 
the three days of the conference and there are individual and whole-site 
registration options available.

Connecting you with experts from across North America, this conference 
explores how to take interpretation to the next level. Our keynote 
speaker, Sam Ham, author and professor at the University of Idaho, will 
give us a preview of his revised and updated book and will share his 
latest thoughts on writing strong interpretive themes. Our five other 
presenters will explore learner-centered education, audience engagement, 
interpretive special events, online marketing and inspiring change.

These Online Conferences have been an extremely successful model for IC, 
allowing even those in remote locations to participate in engaging 
professional development, without the associated costs of travel.

Come join us in exploring cutting edge topics on heritage 
interpretation, delivered right to your computer. Grab a coffee, pull up 
a chair, and log-in to this exciting event!
