What is Cannexus?

HereiswhatCannexusattendeessay:

Thank you for the opportunity to present at the Cannexus conference. I think you really put on a great event and I heard nothing but positive remarks from delegates.

– Norman E. Amundson, Professor, Counselling Psychology, University of British Columbia

Cannexus is a unique, national conversation hub for Canadian career professionals (and related stakeholders) making a difference in the world of work. (It) reinforced the irreplaceable role of counsellors, coaches, advisors – however we name ourselves – in our clients’ lives.

– Heather F. Turnbull, CMF, President, Association of Career Professionals (ACP) International

– Juliana Wiens, Operations Co-ordinator/Employment Counsellor, Women’s Employment Outreach

The conference was excellent! With so many speakers and topics to choose from, I was able to select sessions in every time slot that were relevant to my work with clients and to my growth as a career development professional. I met many interesting people, and I was able to make valuable connections that I intend to follow up on. Not only that, but I enjoyed myself thoroughly! I look forward to applying various pieces of learning to my work. I hope/plan to attend Cannexus again in the future.

KEYNOTE spEAKERs

JACqUEs DEmERsThroughout his storied careers both as one of the most successful coaches in the National Hockey League and as a respected television sports commentator, Jacques Demers managed to hide a remarkable fact–he could neither read nor write. Sharing his incredible story, Demers inspires others to have the courage to confront, and conquer, their greatest fears and sheds light on the thousands of people who, like him, unjustly suffer through illiteracy. He was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2009.

Highlights

• International and national keynotes

• 100+ education and training sessions

• Pre-conference workshops

• Wine & Cheese sponsored by The Counselling Foundation of Canada

• Cannexus Connections luncheon

• Networking opportunities

• Exhibitor showcase

It was an excellent opportunity to connect, network and to get energized! It reaffirmed many of the things we are doing organizationally and inspired us to look into new development areas.

— Randy Lindsay, Executive Director, Futureworx Society

The balance between practitioners and researchers and the diversity of participants from across the country makes this a unique opportunity to share ideas and hear perspectives we don’t ordinarily have access to in our own environment.

— Lisa Taylor, President, Challenge Factory Inc.

Cannexus is, by far, my favourite conference! As exhibitor and representative for Psychometrics Canada, having attended various conferences across Canada for over 20 years, I find that Cannexus is not only one of the largest bilingual conferences in Canada, but also a unique opportunity to increase and to promote our products and services to a select clientele. In all the years that Psychometrics has exhibited, Cannexus and its team still makes sure to give those exhibiting countless opportunities to get noticed, and ensures exceptional visibility on-site at the conference!

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It...

HERE ARE JUsT sOmE OF THE pAsT spONsORs, ExHIBITORs & ADVERTIsERs AT CANNExUs:

AND THIs Is wHAT THEY sAY ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

I’m really pleased, for the first time, to be exhibiting as well as presenting. I’ve been at this conference I think since the start and have presented almost every year …. we’re trying to exhibit because we thought it would be something very useful for us to communicate and build relationships with the kinds of delegates that come including a lot of career professionals from across the country… It’s been a great experience coming to Cannexus!

– Mark Franklin, Practice Leader, CareerCycles

Cannexus is always an exciting and inspirational event where we get to come and share ideas and career

development tools with some the best and brightest colleagues in our field. We just really love this event

and we’re just happy to be here with a product that we are really proud of and something we can share with

our colleagues and our community. It’s a great event.

We’re here today to talk about jobs and professions within the wood industry… there are a lot of transferable skills to come into this industry as well. Right now we’re facing a skills shortage so we’re just really trying to promote the opportunities that there are within this sector and to let people know that there are jobs out there.

– Jackie Kelly, Wood Manufacturing Council

Just wanted to let you know you did a fantastic job! We had a lot of fun, and many great conversations at the conference about career development. Overall the entire conference was a huge success from our point of view. Congrats, and awesome job!

– Roshni Patel, Marketing Co-ordinator, Career Cruising

I was really pleased by the feedback from Canadian career development professionals. Our Cannexus promotion of giving out free test takings was a big success and I am looking forward to users’ feedback in the coming year.

– Juliet Jones, Vice-President, Career Key

– Diane Twombley, York University Career Centre
