CONFERENCE POSTPONED
Unfortunately, the TESL Atlantic Conference Committee has reluctantly decided to postpone our conference from April 30 – May 2, 2020 to November 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak. While we do not as of yet have any cases here in Nova Scotia, we believe that following the government guidelines to limit transmission is important for all of us. Should the virus continue into the fall we will be prepared to offer the entire conference online.
You will, of course, receive full reimbursement of the conference fees already paid but please give us a few weeks to facilitate this.
Thank you to our keynote speakers, sponsors, presenters and participants for your understanding and patience in dealing with this difficult situation. We hope that all of you will support, and be part of, the conference in November.
Take care,
Atlantic Conference Committee
