Executive Councils & Research Centres

The Conference Board of Canada has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak as the well-being of our meeting attendees remains our priamary concern.

Currently, we are exercising caution and taking advice from the relevant authorities in the area as it pertains to the health and safety of all participants. As a result we will not be holding any in-person council meetings from now until the end of May.

 

We are in the process looking for ways to continue to connect everyone whether it’s through virtual meetings, conference calls, enhanced member webinars etc., as we are committed to delivering value to our council members through these extraordinary circumstances that we collectively find ourselves in.

Tackle your organization's most complex challenges through networking events. Network with leaders at the top of their fields.
