In-Person conference delegates are invited to the case study evening, where we will visit a local restaurant to explore the food-making process.

The Case Study activity will bring together the best gastronomy with high-quality research and access to unique flavours and historical products. The fusion of contemporary techniques with traditional recipes results in a feast that satisfies the palate and provides an unforgettable cultural immersion and a temptation for all the senses.

Talking Circles are a distinctive feature of our in-person conference – and this year we are taking them online. Talking Circles offer an opportunity to meet other delegates and engage in extended discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the Research Network. Participation is open, encouraged, and supported.

This will be held “live” via Zoom (time TBA).

This special event will walk you through the CGScholar Event Mircosite so you have a rich online experience by learning how to comment and participate online. It will also teach delegates how to update their profile and Presenter Pages in order to add digital media: video, sound, other files.

This will be held “live” via Zoom.
