  This year's theme is "Anishnaabemdaa Eta; Let's Only Speak the Language". Our focus is to encourage every day use of the language at home, at school, and at work.  The language embodies our culture, our spirit, our identity as Anishinabek.  With this in mind, we look forward to ensuring you have a successful 4 days with us.   "Bi-wii-doo-kwish-naang"

  The Conference Poster is available via the website by clicking on the Conference Poster,at the bottom of this page, however, we will be forwarding the same by mail, later this month for maximum exposure to your community, educators, and students.  The package shall include a registration form, scholarship information, hotel listings, and vendors registration form.  Please keep an eye out for this package.

  Due to increasing costs to host this conference, we have been forced to increase conference registration fees.  Conference Registration Fees include admission to all workshops, all plenary sessions, opening and closing plenary sessions, sunrise ceremonies, 1 meal per day, and conference sponsored evening entertainment or traditional feast.
