From the 1996 Conference Chair
Graham Keogh
On November 1-3, 1996, a successful MCATA annual conference was held in Red Deer at the Capri Centre. On Friday, a preconference math symposium attracted 50 delegates to discuss math issues for the coming year. Conference delegates started to arrive Friday night and enjoyed connecting with old friends at a drop-in social. As delegates registered, they took in the opportunity to look over the “Bright Ideas” display which was located behind the registration table. The display left no doubt they were attending a math conference! A popular gathering point proved to be the large display board which showed the sessions that were being offered at the conference.
