Annual Conference

CAUBO 2008 Presentations

A “Greener” Conference

The CAUBO 2008 Committee, in conjunction with CAUBO, has made a commitment to implement various elements in order to make the CAUBO annual conference a “greener conference”.

One of the elements that we are implementing is the elimination of paper handouts. Instead each delegate will receive a CD at registration on-site containing all of the handouts submitted in advance by the conference speakers. All currently available presentations have been posted below for you to print and bring along should you wish to have a hard copy in hand. Presentations that were not made available in advance by the speaker will be posted following the conference.
