Twice a year, advisory boards of SIP and LTI meet for lunch at a downtown restaurant, this time we want to focus on our authors and speakers.

Would you like to join us for lunch at a famous landmark of Toronto - the Art Gallery of Ontario (French: Musée des beaux-arts de l'Ontario) at their exquisite restaurant called FRANK on next Tuesday February 1 at 12 noon (lunch is from 12:15 pm to 1:45 pm).

We could not a get a room, so we have a small booking of 10; please let me know if we can have the pleasure of your company. I guarantee you will meet extra-ordinary people.

Every one will be introduced and they will have the opportunity to tell us "What are they up to...?"
