Learn | Educate | Act | Dare

LEAD is an annual conference for post-secondary student leaders working in residence across Western Canada. Activities include delegate presentations, roundtables, case studies, keynote speakers and more! Connecting with peers from other institutions provides great professional development and even greater friendships. 

Attend LEAD to be a better LEADer

• Learn from peers and experts in the industry.
• Educate others; share tips and tricks on supporting residents.
• Act with purpose; implement new ideas back at your campus.
• Dare to push your growing edge. Step outside your comfort zone. Practice facilitation skills. Rise to the challenge! You won’t regret it. 

Hosted virtually

LEAD is typically hosted at a camp venue immersed in nature where delegates network and develop as professionals. The cabin experience includes campfire hangouts and board game nights. 

COVID-19 has presented the opportunity to adapt LEAD to an online platform. The conference continues to create space to network and build connections, discuss industry best practices, and offer high quality and engaging content from both student and professional staff.
