2012: Halifax, Nova Scotia

“Eat, Play, Live”

October 11-12, 2012
Halifax, Nova Scotia

The 3rd EDAC-ATAC conference was a great success, with nearly 200 delegates in attendance.  Keynote speakers Dr. Janet Treasure, Dr. Gail McVey, and Dena Ashbaugh had presentations that were stimulating, thought-provoking, and emotional.  From a bagpipe performance to a lobster dinner, local culture was highlighted throughout the conference and added a unique touch, while colleagues from across the country took this opportunity to network, collaborate, and learn from each other.  The banquet showcased the culinary delights of the East Coast and also had all attendees stomping their feet and clapping their hands.  Photos will be posted soon!
