Top 10 Reasons the Annual Canadian Employee Benefits Conference is THE Conference to Attend

It’s not just about PowerPoint slides… it’s about dialogue on real issues, checklists, articles and applying knowledge. |
| 2. |
We’ve categorized all of the 100-plus sessions for the Annual Conference into specific focus areas. Target the information that matters most to you and select sessions, including many offered in French, that fit your conference goals. You can follow one particular focus for all four days, or choose sessions from several categories to get the specific information you want. |

With over 1,000 attendees, the Annual Conference is your unmatched source for networking. Through case studies and roundtable discussions, you’ll connect with other like-minded trustees, administrators and other professionals facing the same issues. |

The International Foundation’s Annual Conference provides you with the best and most objective information, and has been the only unbiased source for quality employee benefits education in Canada for over 40 years. We are nonlobbying and nonpartisan; and, unlike many other organizations, our conference sessions are free of vendor influence. |

Count on it. Nothing is canned. It’s about reality. Our speakers live and breathe it every day—they don’t teach from a book… they teach from experience. |

You’ll receive valuable benchmarking data through on-site surveys of those in attendance. Live results will provide a snapshot of where other plans stand on critical issues we are all facing. You can’t get fresher statistics than these. |

Build a strong foundation for excelling in the many different aspects of a trustee’s role. We offer sessions for both the new and advanced trustee.
