The 27th Annual Career Development Conference was a significant achievement, and it's all thanks to your active participation and invaluable contributions. Your enthusiasm and commitment made this event truly memorable. 

The positive feedback we've received has been incredibly encouraging. We're grateful for your kind words and constructive suggestions. We have noted the occasional critiques and are dedicated to addressing them to enhance your experience in future conferences.

 Looking ahead, preparations for the 28th Annual Career Development Conference are already underway. The theme of this conference will be overcoming limiting beliefs, aimed at empowering career development professionals and their clients. This theme is designed to inspire and motivate, providing insights and tools that can be applied both professionally and personally.

We will maintain our unique format, featuring a one-day in-person symposium in Vancouver followed by a comprehensive collection of webinars. To further enrich the conference experience, we are considering the addition of a post-conference workshop. This initiative aims to provide even more value and make the most of the time spent together during the in-person event.

 We are also pleased to announce that the request for proposals will open shortly. We invite you to submit your proposals and contribute to the continued success of our conference. The submission window will remain open until the end of October.

 We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to your continued participation in our events. Your feedback and engagement are crucial as we strive to improve and innovate. 

Thank you once again for your invaluable contributions. We look forward to welcoming you to our 28th annual gathering.
