Welcome to Professional Development Week 2012

Hosted in Halifax, Nova Scotia! We will introduce you to the “Ocean of Opportunity” that is available to us as students, that will help define the value of our profession and move it forward into the future. The conference will focus not only on where the profession of pharmacy is headed but what each and every one of us can do at this moment to make our careers as fulfilling as possible. Through presentations from speakers and interactive workshops we will challenge your perception of the profession and inspire you to take action to make these changes a reality.

As another step toward the future we aspire to host an eco-friendly conference by reducing paper use and waste. In order to help this happen we’re encouraging delegates to bring along and share their laptops as all hotel rooms are equipped with free Wifi and all conference material will be made available electronically.

The Maritimes have an extremely unique seaside culture, one that is notorious for our warm-hearted, fun-spirited people and our inspiring nightlife. With more pubs, clubs and bars per capita than anywhere else in the country and with an unparalleled love for a good kitchen party – we thought we’d throw one for you! While we’re at it we’ll introduce you to other Maritime classics like highland dancing, fiddlers, Celtic music and much more!

So come test out the waters, get your feet wet – maybe dive right in! We’re looking forward to your visit and promise you won’t be disappointed!
