World Forum 2006: Future Directions in Child Welfare

We invite you to participate in Worldforum 2006 Future Directions in Child Welfare. Conference sessions begin on Monday, November 20th and extend through Wednesday November 22nd 2006. This conference will afford you and your organization an outstanding opportunity to network and meet with decision-makers, policy-makers, and line and agency staff from Canada and around the world.

The exhibit area is located in the Pacific Ballroom, close to plenary and breakout rooms, a truly dynamic exhibit area along with a video viewing area and a place for delegates to have breakfast, take refreshment breaks, view and listen to poster presenters, meet and network - the "hub" of the Forum when proceedings are not in session. Delegates will have ample opportunity to network and view the exhibits.
