The event will immediately precede the CMEC (Council of Ministers of Education of Canada) Bursary Program conference that many LC members also attend. Languages Canada will recognize the accomplishments of the association which have been achieved during these early years and will continue to enhance and develop long term plans to promote and advocate Canada's language training industry nationally and internationally. There will be both plenary sessions and professional development workshops in 3 streams: Marketing, Student Experience, and Leadership .
The keynote address entitled the "Power of Persuasion" will be given by Heath Slawner, an internationally recognized speaker, and an authority on the "Principles of Persuasion" has helped many groups leverage the science of persuasion to achieve outstanding results.
