Get ready for Ahead of the Curve, our annual thought leadership event designed to captivate Canada’s economics and accounting teaching community.
One of this year's big themes is Generative AI in the Classroom: Disruption or Changemaker?
Join us for a day of learning, networking, and idea sharing with your fellow instructors. We have developed engaging sessions to fuel your creativity, boost learner outcomes, and enrich your teaching experience.
We will be having general sessions for both economics and accounting instructors, as well as discipline-specific sessions that address each group’s needs. We will share more information on our Keynote Speakers and sessions very soon. Stay tuned!
To secure your attendance at this event, please make sure to register as soon as possible. Register by March 29th for a chance to win 1 of 10 gift cards, distributed at the event.
