Local Entertainment, Student Posters and More
Other clinicians will be named in the near future. Entertainment will be provided by the University of Saskatchewan Jazz Ensemble and Saskatoon musicians Gerard Weber and Brett Graham, while other performers are still being finalized. University students are also hard at work finalizing their posters and presentations for this year's event.
All of the sessions will be available to delegates for 30 days after the conference. Anyone who decides to register will receive an online program, along with a username and passcode to access the sessions.
