Western’s Staff Development Team inaugurated the Western Staff & Leaders' Conference in 2003. The conference, held annually in February, includes keynote speakers, workshops and tours of some of Western’s key research and support facilities. It is a great opportunity for staff and leaders from across Western to come together and learn about current issues, trends, and best practices. Past participants have consistently rated the conference very highly.
Some notable keynote speakers from past conferences include:
Silken Laumann
Bob McDonald
Marc Kielburger
Evan Soloman
