<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>This week over 150 delegates are descending on Victoria for the 60th anniversary BCMA Annual Conference! Starting Tuesday evening with a welcome reception at the Robert Bateman Centre and ending Thursday night with a special gala dinner and the annual BCMA Awards Ceremony, this should be a conference for the ages. (There will also be a special sold out post-conference discussion group on Friday morning, so keep your eyes on that!)</div><div><br></div><div>If you are coming to Conference this year, we encourage you to share your thoughts, experiences, and session highlights using social media. Tweet using the #BCMA2017 hashtag, or tag us in your Facebook posts so we can share with the wider community.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are not able to attend, follow along with <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BCMA2017&src=typd">#BCMA2017 on Twitter</a> (you don't need a Twitter account to see what's happening, but we'd love to see you send in your thoughts and take the conversation global!). We'll also post some highlights throughout the conference on both Facebook and Twitter.</div><div><br></div><div>Our accounts are:</div><div>Facebook: /BCMuseumsAssn</div><div>Twitter: @BCMuseumsAssn and #BCMA2017</div><div><br></div><div>See you online!</div><div><br></div><div>Ben<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size:12.8px" color="#000000"><b>Ben Fast</b></font><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000">Programs and Communications Coordinator</font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif">BC Museums Association || 675 Belleville Street || Victoria, BC || V8W 9W2</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Office: <a href="tel:(250)%20356-5700" value="+12503565700" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">250-356-5700</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"> || <a href="http://www.museumsassn.bc.ca/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">www.museumsassn.bc.ca</a><br></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Direct Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/benfaster" target="_blank">@benfaster</a> Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">@BCMuseumsAssn</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">BCMuseumsAssn</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><br></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">Join us for <i><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/conferences/current-conference/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">A Climate for Change</a></i>, the annual BCMA conference, i</font><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">n Victoria, <span><span>October 3-6, 2017</span></span>.</span><br></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
