Why Attend?
Thought Leadership Conference Sessions
The highly crafted conference sessions reflect the strategic issues that Senior Chief Human Resources Officers have identified as priorities during our lengthy research process. You will choose from a selection of plenary and concurrent sessions covering a myriad of issues that will create the foundation of your agenda.

Session formats include:
• Co-presented Case Studies
• Panel Discussions
• Roundtable Discussions
• Interactive Debates

BrainWeave® Discussions
Our signature Brainweave® sessions encourage discussion, debate, and learning in an unscripted and informal setting. You can choose to participate in these interactive roundtable style sessions on topics which are top-of-mind issues. You will be able to select from four possible Brainweave® topics which will be incorporated into your personal itinerary. These 45 minute discussions will be moderated to ensure that the discussions stay on-course and deliver maximum benefit to you. Ask questions, share experiences and ideas, and find the right answers to your immediate concerns.

MasterClass
A MasterClass is an in-depth discussion led by a solution provider. The delivery format is flexible in that the solution provider may use a case study or present with a client to “bring the content to life”. We discourage heavy PowerPoint presentations, as these take away from the level of interaction that is achieved with a case study or client.

Face-to-Face Business Meetings
An integral part of your agenda is the one-on-one business meetings with leading solution providers. When you register for the CHRO Exchange Canada, you will be asked to identify the solutions and services you are currently considering, so we can invite leading experts to the Exchange who will fit your business needs.

Prior to the Exchange, you will be able to assess the solution providers who will be attending and select 6-8 who offer products and services that match your initiatives and priorities.

Your selections are then incorporated into your customized agenda. These private 30 minute meetings give you the opportunity to hear from leading specialists, whose industry knowledge and experience enable them to make a valuable contribution to the requirements of your business. They offer objective, flexible, and relevant strategies for success. This unique aspect of the CHRO Exchange Canada serves to simplify the process for sourcing new solutions and external counsel, enable you to discover strategies that are working for others, and offer you early previews of emerging technologies.

Who Will You Meet?
To ensure the Exchange offers the highest degree of relevancy, only senior level executives are invited to attend. This exclusive format allows delegates to connect with those peers whose insights they respect the most – through exceptional networking, business meetings and strategic information-sharing sessions.

The CHRO Exchange Canada Attendees include:
• Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO)
