• Friday, May 24 from 10:30-11:45: Mavericks of Mind, a panel that invites participation in a Community of Practice for high-quality language learning, labor-market coordination, and strengthened intersections between instructed SLA, user-experience design, and product development.
• Friday, May 24 at 5:45: CALICO Social Quest, a mixed reality hunt and race against the clock to save the citizens of Montréal from the agitated ghost of infamous fur baron, Simon McTavish.
