The lab had several presentations at the Annual Conference of The Canadian Association for Information Science (CAIS2017) and at the the Annual Conference of Canadian Communication Association Conference (CCA2017) at Ryerson University, Toronto, May 31 – June 2, 2017.

Both conferences were part of the Annual Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The city looked strikingly beautiful from a roof-top party for local organizers!
