1992 Learned Societies Conference

May 24 - June 12, 1992

Source of information Campus Newsleetter Number 1, April 1991, by John Crossley

UPEI is soon to be the home of the 1992 Learned Societies Conference. Taking place from May 12 until June 12,1992. This conference is something for UPEI to be pround of. It may well be another twenty five years u=fore UPEI could concieve of rehosting this conference. Humanities and social science is the subject of the Learned Society Conference. Itis expected that over seven thousand academics will register for this conference.

The annual Learned Society Conference had its birht shortly after World War II. It was decided that an annual social sciences conference would accomplish two objectives.

1. To encourage cooperation among the social sci- ences.

2. To make the running of such a conference as economical as possible

The Canadian Federation of Humanities decides whic! university will hold the conference. Needless to say the competition is tough. Every year the host univer. sity is provided with the experiences and wisdom of those who held the conference the previous year.

In 1988 the learneds was expected tp pull in about si: million for PEI’s economy. The estimate was broxer down in three expenditures, 1.7 million in spending by conference academics. One half million spending by children, spouses, and other travellors and four million in spin offs. This ’88 estimate was made based on a projected registration of 5,500 to 6,000 people; however, itis now expected that 7000 partici pants will arrive and thus upping the estimate to eigh or ten million.

Because of the limited of UPEI hotels, restaurants and bed and breakfasts will be much busier that usua All of this sounds that usual. All of this sounds like a mountain of benefits to our economy ,yet the moun tain will be a little smaller than the one created durin the 1991 Winter Games.
