Workshop and presentation proposals are now being accepted for the OAGEE Fall 2020 Virtual Conference to be held online to help us all work through the Covid-19 pandemic, on Saturday, October 17, 2020.
Sessions will run Saturday morning and afternoon, from 9 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:15 PM. Each session is 50 minutes in length, with a 10 break between sessions. There will not be any double length sessions this year. There will be a 30 minute lunch break from 12:30 to 1:00 PM.
Each session will have an OAGEE moderator to introduce the session and assist with technical issues. Presenters will be required to submit their presentation materials in advance to be posted to the OAGEE website for access by participants and to help OAGEE staff to deal with any presentation issues.
Since the format of this conference is online, space is not an issue. Participants will not be expected to preregister for individual sessions. As a result, presenters will have to anticipate a degree of fluidity in attendance during their session.
This year's theme is "Smart Cities" - As our current society moves towards a more virtual society, how can we stay connected even though our geography, social and physical, may try to keep us apart?
All applicable workshop and presentation proposals will be considered for the conference. However, we are encouraging potential presenters to consider providing sessions that focus on the following highlighted session themes:
Smart Cities
use of technology for remote learning
geotechnology
urban and rural issues
Canada wide issues, e.g. climate change, the changing nature of work
- environmental and social justice/global citizenship issues
Notification regarding submissions will be provided early September.
Notes: Links will be required for the online proposal submission and the technical support email address.
