The convention will focus on the International Polar Year and science in
the North. In addition to two days of panels and presentations, the
event will include a large display of posters about northern science and
IPY projects. A one-day field trip will offer convention participants a
chance to meet and talk with scientists and First Nations outside
Whitehorse.
