CAOT Conference 2013- Your Help Needed

The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists and the Canadian Society of Occupational Scientists are pleased to be co-hosting the 2013 Annual Conference- The Future is here: Leading Solutions. The time has come for us to motivate our therapy colleagues and recruit interested volunteers for this upcoming conference.

The important conference dates are:

Volunteer Orientation – May 28, 2013
Pre-conference workshops- May 28th and 29th, 2013
Opening ceremonies – evening of May 29th, 2013
Conference Sessions- May 30th – June 1st, 2013
Social Events – May 28- June 1, 2013

The Conference Host Committee anticipates that about 75 volunteers will be needed to assist with registration of conference delegates, the trade show, special event admissions, moderating scientific program presentations, monitoring presentation rooms, assisting with social events and presenting certificates to session/poster presenters. We are asking volunteers to commit 3 to 4 hours of their time either during the pre-conference and conference workshops, registration activities or for social events. 

After February 1, 2013 please officially register as a volunteer on the CAOT website (www.caot.ca and look for Conference 2013 or go right to the volunteer page at http://www.caot.ca/default.asp?pageid=1460).  You will need to indicate your preference and availability when you register.  We will do our best to accommodate everyone’s preference.  The host committee is also looking for individuals who could be available on short notice.
 
The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists appreciates and acknowledges the important role volunteers play in the success of a conference. Volunteers are issued one complimentary t-shirt and may attend any session they have volunteered for without paying a registration fee and attend the Conference Exhibit Hall (on the day they volunteer only).

Thank you for your interest in volunteering.  We look forward to seeing many of you in May!
