Social Programming
Beyond the educational program, the conference includes thoughtfully curated experiences designed to bring attendees together in memorable ways. We introduced off-site excursions for the first time at our conference in St. John’s, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Based on that feedback, we’re excited to bring this enhanced programming back again this year, with special events that offer unique opportunities to connect, celebrate, and experience Ottawa beyond the conference venue.
