Hello Everyone,

On behalf of the Alberta Brain Injury Conference Steering Committee, I would like to extend an invitation to submit an abstract(s) for the ABIC 2011 conference on brain injury, to be held on March 17th to 19th in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Once again the conference will offer three streams with an overall unique theme of Building Links & Breaking Chains – Tools for the Future. This theme has been developed as a basis for the conference as it recognizes the need to identify those things which keep or hold us back from moving forward, and the links we need to build in order to continue to grow and prosper as individuals in our home lives, work lives and personal lives whether we be survivors, caregivers, family members or service groups and like minded professionals in the brain injury community.

We are looking for dynamic, current, passionate individuals that will bring innovative and sustainable solutions and tools to the conference with a relevant focus to attendees in one of these 3 streams; Service Providers, Individuals, and Research Findings.

The Deadline for submissions is Tuesday June 1, 2010. We look forward with anticipation to reviewing your submissions.
