Vancouver, British Columbia

Dip your toe in the ocean. Climb a mountain. Enjoy the leading edge of springtime in Canada.

Plus our three areas of focus are all on the edge too!

British Columbia.

Controversial science topics.

The future of science writing and communication.

This is what delegates had to say about our 2017 conference: The conference was my first exposure to SWCC. What a breath of fresh air. As a mid-to later stage professional, I don't get the opportunity to interact with other communicators and writers. I came back with information and contacts that are beneficial for me and my organization. I feel reinvigorated in my practice. Follow up and responsiveness on the part of the organizers after-the-fact has also been excellent.

My second week into my Masters of Science Communication program I was luck y enough to attend the 2017 SWCC Conference. It was a great experience to get a broad view of science writing and communicating in Canada as well as having a chance to listen to and meet some amazing presenters. When think ing about future career opportunities the SWCC Conference really got my wheels turning about where I can go and the different k inds of things I can do. It was perfect for my introduction into the exciting field of Science Communication. Highly recommended!

I look forward to this conference every year and there's nothing lik e it. SWCC k eeps a community connected across Canada and these few days energize us for the rest of the year. The people you meet and the insights you gain are so important for all science writers and communicators' work .

The SWCC conference is a chance to get out of your science silo and pick up new approaches to communicate science, learn about other exciting scientific fields and share ideas with your science writer colleagues from across Canada.

The SWCC conference 2017 offered me a perfect way to not only learn some good 'best practice' tips in science communications but more importantly offered me an opportunity to meet, network and benefit from learning from an incredibly friendly, smart and experienced group of science communicators. I have already recommended the conference to a number of my colleagues back in the UK.
