iF Conversations Day 3
Location: Calgary Chamber of Commerce - ENMAX Ballroom
Address: 100 - 6th Ave S.W.
Time: 2:30pm to 5:30pm
If you had an extra day, imagine the possibilities.
Nearly every day we hear someone protest their lack of time, so for the first iF conversation of 2012, on what is literally extra day – February 29 - we are asking, iF you had another day how would you use it?
Imagine the possibilities of what you might do, or achieve. How many of us would spend it at home, with friends or who would use an extra day to explore – physically or intellectuality – something we have always wanted. Or to live this extra day like it was your last day – righting the wrongs, finding the words, reaching out – to make your world a better place.
We hope you will all join us for what will be another inspiring afternoon of conversations and creativity.
Contact Jennifer Carrobourg at jcarrobourg@calgarychamber.com or call (403) 750-0432.
