Get Ready to Socialize and Learn!
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to look at alternative ways to educate our members and create that vital touch point with our industry sponsors, while still finding time to exercise and squeeze in a little fun. Yes, we made good use of the virtual world, and appreciate it for what it brought to us during these difficult times, but enough is enough! We are so excited and waiting with anticipation to see each other for some well-deserved in-person interaction. The weekend of November 18 - 20, 2022 can’t come soon enough as it is our opportunity to gather at the Ritz-Carlton Toronto to learn, contribute and share with our friends and colleagues! Register today and get ready to socialize and learn while still being mindful of our current environment. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family back, in-person!
