ILCO's 31st Conference - 2023 Review

The Conference Committee is thrilled to share the success of ILCO's 31st Annual Conference “Capitalize Your Success" which was held from November 1 – 3, 2023 at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, in Ottawa.

The conference kicked off with Keynote Speaker Sarah Wells. In her dynamic presentation, Sarah demonstrated that building resilience and perseverance is a learnable skill that anyone can master and that you do not have to let your circumstances define your outcome.

On Friday, MV Anzola and Rosana of Fernandez of The FlipSide Plan taught us not to overlook the power of sleep. They explained the scientific foundations of sleep and provided insight on eight essential habits that enhance our sleeping habits.

This year’s agenda also included 21 breakout sessions, which provided attendees with a variety of legal topics in various practice areas. As always, our esteemed speakers were exceptional, and we thank them all for taking time from their busy schedules to join us.

There were a number of excellent networking and social events for our guests to enjoy. We kicked off the Conference with a Pre-Conference Meet & Greet Reception on Wednesday. Guests were provided with the opportunity to connect with friends old new.

Our Thursday night event was held at the Canadian Museum of History and was sponsored by ILCO and Stewart McKelvey. The evening was complete with a live performance from a local Indigenous Experience dance and singing group.

The Annual ILCO Conference provides attendees with great learning and development opportunities and the chance to network with other professionals. The success of the conference is not possible without the support of our sponsors, exhibitors and attendees. We thank all of you for your continued support. Special thanks to our 2023 conference committee and ILCO office staff.

We hope to see you for our 32nd Annual Conference in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia from May 14 to May 16, 2025.
