The Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) will be hosting its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference virtually on Wednesday, February 24, and Thursday, February 25, 2021.
The conference consists of:
Two half-days of presentations
Exhibitor Booths
Networking opportunities
CLRA Alberta Annual General Meeting
Random Coffee
Let’s Get Connected!
We want to make sure all our attendees have as many opportunities to connect with one another as possible, so to create further networking options we’re excited to introduce you to RandomCoffee!!
RandomCoffee is an opportunity to meet other conference attendees virtually over a coffee or tea (or beer if you like!). Every week, conference registrants will be “randomly” matched and invited to connect with one another. The program should help you re-connect with those you know, as well as meet new people, just like you would in the lunch buffet line or in the corridor in Red Deer!
How it Works
Starting January 4th (so register early to get the full benefits!), registrants will receive a weekly email asking whether you’d like to “opt-in” to the program. If you “opt-in”, a few days later, you’ll receive a match email connecting you. Once you receive your match, it is up to you and your match to schedule a day and time that week that will work for you. You can meet via whichever platform works best for you! Microsoft Teams, Skype, Zoom, etc. You’ll even have your own profile that you can view and edit any time. It also tracks who you’ve chatted with so you can always refer back as you need. The program will run for 3-months so you have plenty of opportunities to connect before and after the conference.
If you are screaming busy and can’t join in a for a round, just select “not this round” and you’ll be contacted the following week for the next round!
Want it to be less “random”? You can choose your own preferences within your profile!
We’re looking forward to turning up the networking dial and hope that you are too!
