Of course I’m back again this year with my top picks fpr CHA 2019! Did you think I’d let you down? Now that the final program for CHA 2019 has been released, it’s time for me to go over the panels that I think will be the most popular as well as the ones that I am planning to attend! AKA, how to stalk Andrea (please don’t stalk Andrea). Just remember that these are just my recommendations, and I wish there was a way to attend multiple panels at once.
One final note as always, before I get down to business: if you spot me running around, please don’t be afraid to come and say hi!

Another CHA Annual Meeting is in the books! This was definitely, if you will excuse the pun, a conference of historic proportions. Before I go any further, I want to recognize all of the amazing work that was done by this year’s Program Chair, Katrina Ackerman, the rest of the Program Committee (James Naylor, Carolyn Strange, Jo-Anne McCutcheon, Keith Carlson, Laura Madokoro, Kurt Koneski, Melissa Shaw, Michel Ducharme, Philip Charrier, Roger Sarty, Stéphane Castonguay, and Susan Roy), and the Local Area Committee (Raymond Blake and Ian Germani). They, but Katrina in particular, did a really fantastic job! Thank you!
As strange as it sounds, this was actually the first time that Stephanie and I got the chance to meet in person (I know!). So to honour this, we thought it would be fun to do this reflection as a conversation between the two of us. Enjoy!
