lectures and workshops
Two plenary papers were presented just after the official congress opening ceremonies. Both were over two medal artists who have had a great impact on Canadian medal art.
31 parallel lectures followed during 2 days. The theme of Women was the most dominant one. Two workshops were also held during this congress. One by James Malone Beach and the other one by Paul Leathers. Both workshops were well visited.
All the lectures and reports from the workshops will be published in Médailles Magazine 2018.
