Join us as we kick off the event with an evening of connection, reflection, and community. The evening begins with “Decolonizing and Indigenizing the CAG: A Fireside Chat with Knowledge Keepers” from 5:00 to 5:45 PM—a powerful plenary conversation to ground our time together.

Following the talk, the Opening Reception runs from 5:45 to 7:00 PM, offering a chance to meet new faces, reconnect with colleagues, and set the tone for the days ahead. Enjoy light refreshments, great conversation, and the shared excitement of what’s to come.
