From July 9-14 of 2012, the 14th World Congress of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities (IASSID) will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The 2012 IASSID World Congress, whose theme is “A World of Potential,” will bring approximately 1,500 delegates from around the world to Halifax. The conference will consist of more than 200 concurrent sessions in which presenters will share their recent findings, and will include approximately a dozen plenary addresses about major advances in the biological, behavioral, and social sciences related to intellectual disabilities. The conference will enable the transfer of knowledge between colleagues throughout the field of intellectual disability, including policy-makers and practitioners from around the world.

In order to make as many people as possible aware of the 2012 World Congress, the organizing committee is seeking to promote the event at other upcoming disability conferences around the world. Would it be possible for the Annual Conference of the Brain Injury Association of Canada and Brain Trust of Saskatchewan Health to join other conferences that are willing to help promote the 2012 World Congress?

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.
