2022 BCSCA Provincial Conference
Planning for the BC School Counsellor's Association's (BCSCA) 2022 Conference is currently taking place with final plans not yet completed regarding the venue. We will definitely be hosting an online conference with the potential for in-person opportunities in a hybrid model. We went online in 2020 and held a very successful, well-received conference. Considering the success of our past online conferences and the convenience for counsellors from all parts of the province, we are continuing with the online format.
Presenters must be able to present online. If you are unsure of how that could happen please let us know and we can help you brainstorm ways to make it successful. Training is available for presenters to help make the most engaging and dynamic presentation ever.
Delegates and organizers have reported many benefits to having an online conference such as:
Delegates can attend in their jammies
Parking is not an issue
Presenters don’t have to travel
Presenters can present from their own home
Everyone gets their choice of food and drink
Everyone has their own bathroom
Everyone has a front-row seat
No one has to worry about a chatty colleague next to them
More spots per workshop
Much better chairs
Much better eco-footprint
