In 2026, Canada’s national capital will be the backdrop for our most dynamic gathering yet—bringing together leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across the country. Together, we will explore "Pathways to Partnerships" and chart bold new directions for the future of work-integrated learning (WIL).
