Save the Date! Panelpalooza, June 5, 2014 Brampton, ON 10 years, 100 panels later! Details to be announced June 5th, 2004 CAST Canada held it's first 'Consumer panel'. The panels have since traveled across Ontario and been presented to thousands of professionals. This will be the 100th panel. Join us as we see how various panel members are doing, explore ways in which panels affected direct service providers like yourself.  Hear about how the ideas that were found most valuable by the thousands of professionals like yourself were collected and proofed and condensed into the concepts and tools presented by CAST Canada today. We will also explore the larger idea of using personal experience in panels, public speaking and poster campaigns - is it healthy and good or dangerous and exploitative. We know that it can be either. Come along and hear from people - on a panel of course - to look at both sides. Learn ways to hold panels and speaking events safely and productively.
