A Conference for Parents and Others connected to Gifted Children

Thursday, October 20, 2016
6:00  – 8:30 at Winslow Centre,
1100 Winslow Ave, Coquitlam

Featuring:  Mr. Ian Byrd of Byrdseed.com who will speak on the topic:

CREATING TOMORROW'S INNOVATORS  

21st century technologies have opened up new paths for success, and gifted students' curiosity and intense interests make them uniquely suited to blaze these new trails. At the same time, gifted characteristics such as perfectionism and impostor syndrome can hold them back. We will discuss how parents and teachers can support students, empowering them to become tomorrow's innovators.

Please join us starting at 6 pm to allow some time for registration, networking and coffee prior to Mr Byrd's presentation which will be from 6:45 - 8:45.

Adult Registration is $15  Spouse accompanying is $10
