IIC Canada launches all-day virtual conference May 28


OTTAWA – The Canadian Chapter of the International Institute of Communications today began accepting registrations for its first virtual conference.

Its in-person gathering scheduled for April had to be cancelled, of course, due to the Covid-19 crisis.

While full details of the virtual conference program are available on the IIC Canada website, participants will hear presentations on:

  • Resolving the broadcasting crisis
  • Contact tracing applications in pandemic times
  • Reimagining publicly-funded Canadian content
  • Communications Law and Copyright
  • Indigenous media in Canada
  • Access to infrastructure for broadband deployment
  • Mental health and the workplace

The program, which will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., has also been designed to enable Ontario lawyers to claim accreditation for six hours of continuing professional development including one hour of EDI/Professionalism and will be simultaneously interpreted in English and French.
