Now Accepting Conference Presentation Proposals

We are pleased to announce that we are now ready to accept conference presentation proposals for the 2024 ACE WIL BC Conference: “WILful Together” taking place on May 27-28, 2024 at the Anvil Centre in New Westminster, BC.

The conference theme revolves around the acronym WILFUL, which stands for:

W = What’s Up? (What’s on your mind? What’s happening? Who’s doing what? Why do we do what we do) – this is an open category

I = Inclusive WIL (EDI + justice+ accessibility + Indigenization)

L = Learning through resilience (post-pandemic WIL learning, teaching and events)

F = FUN (creating fun and meaningful WIL experience for everyone)

U = United (empowering WIL connections)

L = Lessons learned (through COWIL projects – what? So what? Now what?)
