Registration Information
This year’s conference takes the form of a series of virtual sessions running twice a week throughout October. You may register for each day of the conference that you would like to attend. Currently, a preliminary program for the conference is available. A full program with finalized details will be available in mid-September.
Recognizing budgetary challenges and a widespread desire to convene together, the CRKN Board of Directors is pleased to waive registration fees for this year’s conference. For any questions about the conference or for registration assistance, please contact Francesca Brzezicki, Communications Coordinator, at fbrzezicki@crkn.ca.
Coordinates on how to join the sessions will be distributed to conference participants a day prior to the sessions. CRKN will be using Zoom to facilitate all of the conference sessions.
