Atlantic Community Showcase Presentations
The Atlantic Community Showcase will provide an opportunity to celebrate initiatives that relate to this year’s theme Shaping a Culture of Wellbeing for Present and Future Generations or to the ASI Policy Brief and share them with to all Forum participants, invited guests, media and online attendees.
The ASI Showcase format includes:
- A 2-3 minute “sales pitch” in a recorded video to be presented during the Opening Ceremony,
- An in-person Showcase exhibit during the reception after the Opening Ceremony AND/OR an online Showcase exhibit and video via the online conference platform.
Showcase presentation materials will be prominently displayed for the duration of the Forum (August 18-20) with opportunities for ongoing dialogue with Forum participants, both in person and online.
In total we anticipate that 5-6 projects will be selected and showcased either in person, online, or both; a great opportunity to share information about the work of collaboration amongst the generations – present and future and building resilient communities that take a “whole of society approach” to promoting a well-being society for current and future generations throughout Atlantic Canada.

Forum Registration
Agreeing to accept an offer to present confirms that you agree to register for the Forum and make this presentation as scheduled. The Forum will be a learning experience for all attendees, including presenters. We request that all presenters commit to attending the full Forum, from August 18-20th.
You will need to cover the costs of registration, accommodations and travel. Most meals during the ASI are included as part of the registration. It is also possible for a presenter to apply for a subsidy to support costs of registration, travel, accommodation, and meals that are not covered by the registration. A limited number of subsidies are available.
