Are Virtual Events and Online Continuing Education Here to Stay? Have Your Say!

Prior to the pandemic, many associations held in-person continuing education events and conferences to add value for their members and to generate revenue. During the pandemic, associations have relied exclusively on technology to connect with members. With the increasing costs of hosting in-person events and an attendee hard cap due to public gathering guidelines, will associations opt to host online events post Covid-19? Participate in our short 3-minute survey by Dec. 10 for a chance to win a $150 Amazon gift card (just in time for the holidays). The results will be shared with survey participants and our fellow CSAE members.

Quebec City Business Destination

Unique in its history, but also in its joie de vivre, Québec City is a Canadian destination like no other! Imagine sitting in a plenary room listening to an expert researcher presenting his latest findings. Afterwards, you rush to the riverbank to watch athletes paddle through the ice, jumping in and out of their canoes to reach the finish line. Behind them, a majestic building sits proudly atop a cape, while the crowd below cheers enthusiastically. A few hours later, you’re enjoying an evening in an historical venue, surrounded by your fellow event participants. You’re eating a delightful meal, full of sumptuous flavours – a truly inspired affair. Your jaw drops when you see a violinist perform upside down, suspended right above your head. There is only one city capable of hosting such a memorable event: Québec City. Click here for more information.
