The 2008 Canadian Science Writers' Association (CSWA) convention will be
held on 24-26 May 2008 at Yukon College in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
The convention will focus on the International Polar Year and science in
the North. In addition to two days of panels and presentations, the
event will include a large display of posters about northern science and
IPY projects. A one-day field trip will offer convention participants a
chance to meet and talk with scientists and First Nations outside
Whitehorse.

CSWA is Canada's national alliance of professional science communicators
and has about 450 members, including journalists, educators, freelance
writers, publishers, and communications professionals from public and
private organizations.
