Held in the Shaw Conference Centre, the Showcase will offer delegates the chance to peruse interactive displays and booths featuring hands-on experiences that celebrate the best of what great winter cities have to offer.
Winter
Pecha Kucha
Night
Thursday, February 16th
Later in the evening, attendees can take in a number of mind opening short-snapper presentations at the Pecha Kucha Night (held in partnership with Edmonton’s NextGen). Winter creativity in 20 images x 20 seconds.
Flying
Canoë Volant
Race
Friday, February 17th
Delegates have the chance to pilot a flying canoe down a snow-covered hill, celebrating their inner voyageur with light, music, legends and dance! Those who prefer a milder experience can join in as spectators to celebrate Edmonton's local history and everything that is great about a long winter’s night.
Think these are fun ideas? We think the rest of the conference is pretty amazing as well!
