BCCIE Summer Seminar 2010: Charting the Path Ahead

Wed, 02/10/2010 - 13:02 — spartridge

Join colleagues from around the country for BCCIE’s second annual Summer Seminar to be held in beautiful Whistler, BC, June 22-25.

The theme of this year’s conference, Charting The Path Ahead, captures the industry at an exciting crossroads both here in British Columbia and across Canada. With recent dialogue around the next stage of Canada’s international education strategy and British Columbia’s time in the spotlight as host of the 2010 Winter and Paralympic Games, there’s a sense of momentum as we plan for the next wave of strategy and sustained practice to make our institutions and our province leaders in the field.

This year’s Seminar will be based at the Whistler Conference Centre, with host hotel the Hilton Whistler Spa and Resort. The expanded Seminar program includes several optional pre-conference workshops, 18 planned concurrent sessions, updates from national government and education organizations, focused networking opportunities, the development of a BCCIE Leadership Council, and the launch of BCCIE’s annual awards program to recognize distinguished contribution to the field of international education in British Columbia. We are also planning additional opportunities for mentorship and skills development for practitioners new to the field.

We anticipate this year’s Seminar will attract upwards of 250 delegates from all sectors and professional streams: international marketing and recruitment, international student services, mobility, leadership, languages, teaching, and administration.
