Gateways and Pathways
Sunday through Tuesday, 4-6 June 2006
Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina, Vancouver, BC, Canada

We invite you to join us in exploring the gateways and pathways to portal success in the grand natural setting of Vancouver, British Columbia. This gorgeous coastal city is itself a gateway where mountains meet the sea, opening on many pathways and corridors to the nation and geography of Canada. Join us in exploration with colleagues from other institutions and settings, enlarging our understanding of where we are going and how to get there.
