ESTEVAN - The Estevan Innovation Council has announced the postponement of the inaugural Innovation Conference and Tradeshow.
As the fourth COVID-19 wave hits the province and new restrictions come into play, it has been decided to postpone the event until spring 2022. New dates will be announced in the future after consulting with speakers and other local organizations.
鈥淲e found that a number of our speakers who were planning to travel from out of town, are now no longer able to attend in person, so we decided it would be best to postpone the event until a time when we can have everyone together for the best conference experience,鈥� said Rebecca Foord, a city councillor who is also chair of the Estevan Innovation Conference.
Those who had already purchased tickets for the event will be automatically refunded in the coming days through the online ticketing system.
鈥淲hile we are disappointed to have to postpone this exciting event, we wanted to make sure that we can provide an exceptional conference experience for our guests with an impressive lineup of speakers that can present in person,鈥� said Foord.
The Estevan Innovation Conference and Trade Show will shed light on the innovations currently underway in Estevan and neighbouring areas. It will highlight the changes occurring in rural and small-scale urban centers to optimize living and working from Estevan.
There are further plans to include the community, which will be announced closer to the event.
