Deadline for Call for Papers is: Wednesday, October 27, 2010.
Please go to http://www.CSUNconference.org to submit your proposals for the conference.
We also want to take this opportunity to remind you that the speaker registration fees will remain the same for this year's conference once again! We have continued to monitor the economic scenario and determined that our 2011 speaker registration rates will reflect the same fees as our 2008 rates.
We hope this consideration reflects our understanding and commitment to our loyal customer base and we look forward to seeing you at the CSUN Conference on March 14-19, 2011 in San Diego at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Info on the backgroud of FICCDAT:
The inaugural
Festival of International Conferences on Caregiving, Disability, Aging and
Technology, FICCDAT was held over four days in June of 2007. More
than 1,200 international delegates from 36 countries attended.
Delegates were partners in government, private sector, academia, consumer
and professional organizations. The Festival brought together leading
world experts on topics relating to aging, disability, informal caregiving,
new technologies and science. Five unique conferences:
Caregivers: Essential Partners in Care; The 30th Canadian Medical and
Biological Engineering Conference: Improving Medical Device
Usability; Advances in Neurorehabilitation; Growing Older with a Disability
and the 2nd International Conference on Technology and Aging, provided the
framework for a global dialogue concerned with helping the world’s
aging populations live longer and better.
Each of the Festival conferences was co-chaired
by leaders in the field and engaged local, provincial, national and
international organizations. Through an infrastructure of volunteer
committees, coordinated by the Steering Committee, the Festival included an
exhibit hall, international speakers, entertainment by artists and
performers with disabilities, and many inspirational seminars, workshops
and converging international meetings.
All of the organizations participating in
FICCDAT partnered in the development of the Festival Vision, Mission and
Guiding Principles. There was an unqualified consensus and
commitment on collaborating to meet the needs and rights for people with
disabilities to access information, for technological and biomedical
development and advancements, support systems and full accessibility
for people of all ethno-racial, socioeconomic
communities.
FICCDAT
is growing! Building on the success of 2007, we are planning six
concurrent international conferences in 2011. (RESNA is included
in this) FICCDAT 2011 will bring together six important and different
conferences all focused on enhancing the lives of seniors, persons with
disabilities and their family caregivers.
Between June 5-8, 2011 rehabilitation, social
and health services providers, government policy makers, researchers,
family caregivers, students, seniors and persons with disabilities from
around the world will gather in Toronto, Canada to explore issues facing
aging populations, the implications for healthcare systems and service
providers, the roles and responsibilities of family caregivers and policy
and how new research findings and technologies are leading new and
practical solutions.
Experience
the Festival! One of the unique features of FICCDAT is that, in
addition to attending your desired conference, registrants will be entitled
to attend sessions in any other Festival
conference.
You can
also submit abstracts to as many conferences as you like.
