2023 Early Career Lunch
On May 27 at 12:15 PM, we hosted a fantastic Student and Early Career lunch. We met outside the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, located at 123 Queen St W, and strode across the street to the nearby park to enjoy our picnic lunch. It was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with old acquaintances and forge new relationships.

We invited all ICA attendees, whether online or on-site, to share how mobile media impacted their ICA 23 conference experience.
Our members came up with some fun and creative posts!
