Sponsorship Opportunities

Languages Canada is the country's national language education association, representing over 200 accredited public and private, English and French language education programs in 180 study locations across the country.

We are proud to play a leadership role in Canada’s language education sector. We work collaboratively with stakeholders and colleagues from across the country and around the globe to promote Canada as a top choice study destination for international students at all levels.

Languages Canada’s Annual Conference has always been our flagship event, a meeting place for our member programs and other Canadian and international education partners and stakeholders to re-connect, share, learn, and collaborate.

The conference kicks off on Wednesday, February 22 at the Westin Nova Scotian in the heart of the Halifax Seaport District with a casual welcome reception, followed by two full days of plenary and break-out sessions on February 23 and 24, and concludes with our closing reception on Friday February 24. Both the welcome and closing receptions will be hosted by guard.me International Insurance, our 16^th Annual Conference Diamond Sponsor.
