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 online conference attendees, please check your email for an updated list of sessions and Zoom links. The email is from the account of Derek Smith, a BCSSTA executive. Enjoy your afternoon sessions and thank you again for your patience today!
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.
