Ahead of the 13th Annual Gala, join us at our complimentary conference and hear from our panel speakers on their unique perspectives on navigating the legal profession as pan-Asian Canadian legal professionals, individually and collectively, highlighting both progress and ongoing challenges in achieving true inclusion.
In connection with the theme of the 13th Annual Gala, “Unity in Diversity”, the conference will entail an insightful and interactive discussion on how equity, diversity, and inclusion are not separate concepts but are deeply interconnected and mutually reinforcing. By understanding their intersections and hearing the insights and experiences shared by the speakers, we hope to identify challenges, create comprehensive strategies, and empower the attendees to drive positive change in their workplaces, communities, and beyond.
The conference will be held in person at Vancouver Centre II, Skyview Lounge, 29th Floor, 733 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 0S6. The conference venue is just a five minute walk to the Gala venue!
