Registration for the 2021 CRKN Virtual Conference: Shifting the Future is now open!
This year’s conference will once again be held virtually over two weeks beginning October 13 and ending with CRKN’s Annual Meeting of the Members on October 21. Thematic sessions will be offered on October 13–15 and CRKN business sessions will be held on October 20–21, with a pre-conference Intro to CRKN session held on October 7. Currently, a preliminary program for the conference is available on the CRKN website. A full program with finalized details will be available in mid-September. You may register for the conference by visiting the CRKN website. Registration will close on October 1, 2021.
CRKN will be using Zoom to facilitate all the conference sessions. The coordinates for business and thematic sessions will be included in your Order Confirmation email. You will be able to add the conference sessions and links to your calendar by clicking on the appropriate button under Additional Information in that email. Please note that the coordinates for the Annual Meeting of the Members will be distributed separately by email to registered participants in advance of the meeting. In the interim, please place a hold in your calendar for October 21, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET.
*New this Year* Group Registration
For the first time, we are pleased to make available a conference group rate. By registering using the group rate, an unlimited number of participants from your institution may attend the conference. To register for the group rate, please identify one individual from your institution as the group rate administrator. The group rate administrator will register on behalf of the institution by following these steps:
- Select the “Group Rate” applicable to your institution
- Choose “1” for the quantity to obtain the flat group rate
- Complete the form with your individual information
- Place your order after entering your payment information
- Contact nbundhoo@crkn.ca with your order confirmation number to obtain a discount code that can be circulated to individuals in the institution to register for the conference at no additional fee. Please note that individuals benefiting from the group rate must still register.
There are two group rates for CRKN members and non-members:
For members: If your institution is in bands 2 to 7, your group rate is $300 (including HST). If your institution is in bands 8-13, your group rate is $500 (including HST). To see a list of CRKN member institution bands and group rates, please click here.
For non-members: If your organization has between 1 to 80 full time equivalent (FTE) staff, your group rate is $420 (including HST). If your organization has over 81 full time equivalent (FTE), your group rate is $700 (including HST).
