Ideas Fair, Bingo, and Reception | Foire aux idées, Bingo et réception

Join us for the very popular Ideas Fair on Wednesday evening. This is a chance to see new research presented in a creative way. These visual papers offer a different way to experience research! Please be sure to take a bingo card and visit the various presenters.

When you have a bingo, turn your card in at the registration desk for a chance to win a 2018 ttra Annual Conference registration. All cards must be received by 11:45 AM on Thursday to be entered into the drawing.

We will also have a signature drink, hosted by the Ideas Fair sponsor, William Angliss Institute as well as some snacks. There will be a cash bar available. Please have a drink, eat some munchies and check out the papers (see listing below)! You’ll be glad you did.
