Don Rix Info . Oct 24, 2019

Go to Vancouver Convention Centre   1055 Canada Pl, Vancouver, BC V6C 0C3

IMPORTANT INFO FROM GENOME BC
Where is room 220-222? North-east corner of Vancouver Convention Centre west building, on second floor map. You should see signage once you enter the main lobby to help with wayfinding.

Why do I need to provide student names? 

Main reason is that alcoholic beverages are served at reception. Students receive a coloured badge that distinguishes them as minors.

Can I bring photo release forms to event? Yes. Hand them to Alex when you arrive.

Do we need to prep students for the Q&A? 
 it would be great if students have some idea of what they would like to ask Claire. Our event page might spark some ideas and Alex will bring prompt Q’s to hand out to get things going.
Where will we sit? We’ve reserved the entire left side of the room for students. Alex will help you direct your class to sit and encourage students to plug any gaps. We’re expecting a full house!
