January 30, 2012: Word Nerds Gone Wild conference swag
Bring in the New Year in style. CafePress is where the wild things are: the fiercely stylish Conference 2012 logo is available on t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, and more. But get it while you can... after 2012, EAC conference-specific logos will be extinct. Order your swag today.
Planning to attend the conference in Ottawa on June 1–3? Why not volunteer? We are looking for a number of volunteers to help out on-site. Photographers are needed to shoot us in our natural habitat. We also need hosts for the professional development sessions, volunteers to staff the registration desk, people to help out at the vendor fair, and more. In addition to on-site volunteers, we need a volunteer coordinator to recruit volunteers and organize on-site training, and we need people to help with the translation of Conference 2012 communications. Find out how you can help.
Don’t forget: early-bird conference registration is from February 23 to April 11. The early-bird fees are $350 for EAC members ($290 for student members). After April 11, the fees increase to $430 for EAC members ($370 for student members). For non-members, the fee is $600 ($550 for students). Find out more.
Stay tuned for news about speakers and sessions. There will be around 35 sessions centred on five general streams (editing, language, career building, tools and tips, and legal issues) as well as some wonderfully wild pre-conference workshops.
Remember, the deadline for member speaker proposals is Thursday, February 2. Here's the form and the details.
