The Cannexus22 hybrid program has now been released for both the virtual edition and Ottawa-based in-person version of Canada’s largest Career Development Conference, taking place Jan. 24-26, 2022. The program includes more than 150 sessions that will keep participants current with the latest knowledge, skills and tools as well as help to sustain resilience as we approach two years of the “new normal.”
Cannexus brings together professionals across the career and workforce development ecosystem to explore research, policy and practice. The conference will continue to reimagine the impact of career development on education, the economy and social justice as pandemic recovery unfolds. In the past, in-person Cannexus conferences have drawn more than 1,200 delegates to convene, share and learn, and, last year, the virtual conference attracted more than 2,300 participants.
The conference offers special programming throughout including Around the World global perspectives on career development, a Workforce Development Spotlight on improving employment opportunities through systemic change and the return of the KAIROS Blanket Exercise, exploring the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Featuring top researchers, practitioners and thought leaders from across Canada and around the world (Norm Amundson, Tristram Hooley, Sareena Hopkins, Kris Magnusson, Mark Franklin, Lisa Taylor, Spencer Niles, Rich Feller, Dave Redekopp, Roberta Borgen (Neault) and many more), here is just a sampling of the sessions that will inform and inspire:

All in-person attendees receive access to the virtual platform and its sessions at the end of the conference. (All recordings remain available in the platform for six months.) As you go through the programs, you’ll also note the sessions – including all keynotes: Waneek Horn-Miller, Yvonne Rodney and Randell Adjei – that act as bridges between the in-person and virtual conference, creating a shared Cannexus experience. A new BONUS virtual day on Feb. 4, a week after the conference ends has been added to help you reflect on what you’ve learned and to take action.
