Between an unexpected venue change, the event software crashing, and a few other hiccups, we’re still so grateful for the amazing presenters, c. 200 in-person attendees, c. 400 online attendees, student helpers, and all the folks who helped bring the Fall conference together.

[BCSSTA @bcssta]

@TSC_WIP We will provide access to the recorded keynote to conference registrants. We’re as disappointed as you about the failed tech.

The provider for streaming services for all PSAs is working to fix the connectivity issues. BCSSTA is recording the keynote presentation, and we will let you know as soon as we have a solution. Thank you for your patience.

[BCSSTA @bcssta]

@abendl We are so sorry and are in contact with the service provider. As soon as we have restored the connection, we will announce it here.

[BCSSTA @bcssta]

We appologize for any difficulty being experienced by our online conference attendees. At this point we are being told the network connection is down across all PSAs. We are working to restore the connection as quickly as possible.

BC has declared a drought-related state of emergency. https://t.co/qGAuCSUxC5

Biome shifting in BC will not be gradual, but rather marked by dramatic episodes: storms & floods, drought & fires.

We need revisions across the #bced curriculum to elevate Climate Education.

[Glen Thielmann @gthielmann]
