Mark Your Calendar: Creating Rural Connections 2011 Conference – April 12 to 14, 2011

The Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN) is hosting its second rural development conference at the Mayfield Inn & Suites, Edmonton, Alberta April 12 to April 14, 2011. Further details available in January.

There is a call for presentations out, due January 14, 2011, which can be about rural projects or programs underway or completed; rural research under development, in progress or completed; or training/learning opportunities that are available throughout rural Alberta. Groups can showcase existing partnerships between researchers/post-secondary institutions and communities. It would be good to see some sessions from Northern Alberta.

There are also opportunities for showcasing services, products, or organizations, with two levels of trade show sponsorships (information available at the same link as presentations).

Last year's conference in Lethbridge was very successful, bringing people from diverse sectors together to explore topics and mutual interests.
