World Summit
The CCCA World Summit in Montreal, April 13-15 2012, was a huge success.
Attended by approximately 150 of your colleagues and subject experts, the summit provided delegates with new perspectives, ideas and practical take-aways designed to improve efficiency and decision-making in the workplace and within the global economy.
In addition to our Canadian delegates, we welcomed colleagues from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. Our Summit Co-Chairs, Thavakumar Kandiahpillai and Stéphane Lemay, were excellent ambassadors of cultural sensitivity, diversity and goodwill.
In addition to six workshops, five plenaries and three forums on international topics, program highlights included inspiring keynote talks by Yuen Pau Woo, Trevor Faure, Lucien Bouchard, and Richard Susskind, and the many networking opportunities available throughout the summit.
We thanked our speakers for their time, generosity and expertise by providing a donation in their name to Project Genesis, a charity that works to connect individual services with community organizing to bring concrete improvements to people's lives.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, Co-Chairs, and the city of Montreal for making this event a fabulous experience for all.
