We've had a few inquiries asking how Corona virus will affect SWSD2020. There are only a few cases of Covid19 in Alberta currently, but there will be more. What we can tell you is that we will be employing evidence-informed, best practices to keep everyone safe. Also we're lucky that social workers happen to be global experts in dealing with issues like this! Read IFSW's statement on Covid19 here.

Our impressive list of keynote and featured speakers continues to grow, adding to this once-in-a-lifetime event. The program will be based on the sub-themes identified by the world's social workers, including a focus on women's issues and empowerment, the environment, and an Indigenous stream.

Do you have a group of 10 people or more planning to attend SWSD2020?  We're pleased to announce a new group discount code for $50 off per person for groups of 10 or more.  You must all be from the same organization.   

Please email to receive the discount code.

We have arranged preferred rates with a range of hotels in Calgary. Since Calgary hotels are very busy in the summer, you're encouraged to book your hotel soon.

Dr. Reg Crowshoe, an Elder, Knowledge Keeper and former Chief of the Piikani, personally welcomes the world's social workers to Calgary.
