Prior to the pandemic, Rowing BC was preparing a one day, in-person, multi stream conference, designed to meet the diverse needs of our members and stakeholders. However, in pivoting to the virtual environment as a response to the pandemic, we recognize there’s a limit to how many hours you can spend engaged in front of the computer all on one day!
Instead, we have condensed our conference to include just over two hours of content on the primary day and will offer the other content in stand-alone virtual sessions over the coming months. Check out the full plan below ↓
