Where the sector reconnects

Thursday, October 29 | 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.

There is nothing like being in a room full of people who understand the work you do. 

After a full day of learning, the Community Reception is our chance to slow down, catch up with peers, and celebrate everything this sector makes possible together. This year, we are creating a warm and relaxed space designed for conversations that matter, over wine and cheese, charcuteries, and great company.  

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO

• Music from Uptown Strings. Enjoy a polished string ensemble, effortlessly blending timeless classical pieces with fresh takes on modern favorites. A relaxed soundtrack that sets the mood and keeps the conversations front and centre. Meet the musicians. 
  
  
• Live illustrations by Berta Biondic. Watch a live event illustrator capture the magic of the evening in real time. Sit for a quick portrait and walk away with a custom, hand-painted watercolor keepsake from the Conference. Meet Berta.
  
  
• Handwriting analysis with Elaine Charal. Curious what your penmanship says about you? Certified analyst Elaine Charal reads between the lines to reveal hidden strengths and quirks in your script. A playful, personalized experience and an instant conversation starter. Meet Elaine.
