The SMC Executive Committee approved a proposal to hold the first BCeSIS Users' Conference this spring. This event will be led by the districts and schools and will provide a forum where BCeSIS users can share their experiences and exchange information. Presentations and panel sessions will be organized around the needs of various groups of users, such as teachers, counsellors, technologists and school administrators. Program planning is just beginning, but a conference site has been booked:
Date: May 15-16, 2006
Location: Delta Vancouver Airport
3500 Cessna Drive
Richmond, BC
604-278-1241
A block of rooms has been set aside for participants until April 14, 2006. Individuals making bookings should quote the reservation code "MOEMOR" to receive conference rates.
A Users' Conference planning committee has been established by the SMC Executive. Greg Krueger (SD 68 - Nanaimo-Ladysmith) is leading this group which also includes Norm Walker (SD58 - Nicola-Similkameen) and Gregg Ferrie (SD73 - Kamloops). Feel free to send them your suggestions, or to volunteer to make a presentation or to chair a panel discussion.
This is an excellent opportunity for current and future BCeSIS users to learn from their peers. More information about the conference program and conference fees will be distributed as it becomes available.
