ISA Toronto 2013

CONFERENCE THEME NEEDED! New Deadline March 19, 2012.
We need your help! Do you have vision of what the theme should be for ISA’s 2013 Annual Conference being held in Toronto from August 3-7, 2013? Well guess what! ISA Ontario and the Host Committee, chaired by Paul Kobold, are looking for your input. So put on your creative thinking caps and come up with a conference theme (* six words or less). Toronto is such an incredible city; the possibilities are endless. Feel free to fully explain the thought process that led to your conference theme idea if you feel it will bolster your submission.

The person with the winning theme will receive a $50 gift certificate for the ISAO Bookstore. All submissions will be reviewed by the Host Committee, anonymously, so everyone has an equal chance to win. To start the creative juices flowing, visit www.isa-arbor.com/about/historicalinformation/annualConference.aspx, the ISA link to the history of ISA Conferences since 1924 in Stamford CT, USA. The use of conference themes started in 1971 in Montreal.

Submit your entries to conference2013@isaontario.com or mail to ISAO, Attention: Conference Theme Contest, 144 Front Street West, Suite 700, Toronto, ON M5J 2L7.
