The agendas for Thursday, Friday and Saturday have been updated.

​Conference FAQ

​

Q. When and where do I check in for the conference?

A. The Registration Desk will be located in the Commons Room, one level down from the main lobby at the Atlantica Hotel. Hours are 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3 and early Friday and Saturday mornings.

 

Q. Is the Welcome Reception a meal?

A. No, it’s a reception. We’ll have some small bites as we kick-off the conference and welcome everyone to Halifax. You may want to grab dinner before or after the reception. Discover Halifax has set up a Show Your Badge program for us featuring featuring special offers and discounts, including pubs and restaurants. See current offers here.    

 

Q. Is there a conference app?

A. Yes! And it’s proudly sponsored by the Canadian Canola Growers Association. The QR code will be at the registration desk for downloading. It’s all of the information from the website, plus networking, at your fingertips.

​

Q. Are drinks included with registration?

A. We are wholly committed to showing you great Maritime hospitality and giving you some of the best professional development you’ve ever had. We have some amazing sponsors but there are fewer than past conferences. The Thursday night reception will have punch (both with and without alcohol) at the welcome reception; Friday night dinner will have a cash bar; and there is no official cocktail reception Saturday prior to the banquet. You will have the opportunity to purchase drinks during the meal Saturday. The Hospitality Suite is open every night and drinks and light snacks are on the house.

​

Q. No cocktail reception on Saturday!? What are we going to do?

A. Both Tour 1 and Tour 2 on Friday make stops at locations where you can pick up a bottle of whatever you like to drink. On Saturday, plan to gather with a few friends over a glass in your room (use the app to connect) and share that bottle from Friday, or head down to the hotel bar for a pre-dinner beverage.

​

Q. CFWF members love to tear up the dance floor. Will we have the chance in Halifax to dance on Saturday night?

A. Keeping with CFWF tradition, we are ready to dance Saturday night! We’ll be playing our favourite playlist after the dinner and hope to see everyone celebrating the night.​​​
