Taking place at the University of Calgary Downtown Campus, Calgary, Alberta on November 15 and 16, the theme for this year's Exchange is Cultivating Creative Communities: Arts, Education and Spaces for Successful 21st Century Learning. This dynamic and interactive two-day conference will offer a highly-charged learning space for individuals and organizations that are passionate about contributing and connecting to the current theory and practice of creativity, discovery and innovation in learning.
