Sessions & Speakers
A conference just wouldn’t be a conference without interesting, relevant sessions led by experienced, engaging, inspiring speakers.
This year’s EAC conference, in partnership with the Indexing Society of Canada, presents one of the most robust conference programs we’ve ever offered, one that represents tremendous value for conference participants. There’s a little something for every editor and indexer, no matter your level of experience. Session formats include panel discussions and workshops.
