ACWS Innovations Conference 2024

Intended for all shelter staff from front line to senior leaders, the Innovations Conference is an opportunity to grow skills and share knowledge to better support survivors and their children, especially those from communities that have been marginalized. It will blend presentations from academics, experts, front-line workers, and more to enhance knowledge around theory, practices, and on-the-ground strategies to support ethnoculturally diverse clients and staff in the domestic violence shelter sector.

Ticket Sale Terms and Conditions

ACWS understands that circumstances may arise that may affect an attendee’s ability to come to the event. As such:

  • Attendees can transfer their ticket to a colleague on request up to 1 week prior to the event (on or before 16 October 2024). ACWS will make every effort to address the dietary and accessibility requests of the new attendee, understanding that this becomes more challenging closer to the event date. To request a ticket transfer, please send an email to learning@acws.ca and include the new attendee’s first and last name, pronouns, organization, email address, phone number, job title, dietary requirements/restrictions, and any additional accessibility requests.
  • If attendees are unable to find another team member to attend on their behalf, they may request a refund up to 6 weeks before the event date (on or before 11 September 2024). Refunds will be issued during that timeframe, less any service fees included the ticket price. After that time (on or after 12 September 2024), no refunds will be issued.
