We hope you can join us for the in-person event at Viatech in Victoria for refreshments, great food, and connections with our communications community. We are also hosting a Zoom room during the event so more people can connect with us and learn from our guest speaker.
Although this is an AGM, everyone is welcome to attend! The in-person event is free for CPRS members and $15 for non-members. The online event is free for everyone to attend.
We will start with some chapter business - including announcing new members of the Board of Directors, and then we will quickly move to our special presentation.
