Summer Symposium

The 2017 FICP Summer Symposium took place August 24 – 25 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Toronto, ON, Canada. This event offered an intimate networking environment, focused education and the opportunity to experience a trending meeting location.

Attendees heard from keynote speakers Stacey Hanke and Josh Sundquist, who shared their expertise on communication and resiliency, respectively. An interactive panel and sessions on risk management and personal branding left attendees inspired and ready to apply their lessons learned right away.

Networking activities included an evening of dancing and live music at the stylish Fairmont Royal York and a lunch, where attendees received a lesson in sushi-making before testing out their creations.
