The Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC) is pleased to announce that the 2026 Staff Learning Symposium - We’re All In will take place September 21–22, 2026, at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre.

Marking an important milestone, AWCBC will solely host the Symposium for the first time, reinforcing its leadership role in fostering collaboration, learning, and innovation across Canada’s workers’ compensation community.

Building on more than 75 years of AWCBC leadership, the 2026 event will feature two days of expert-led sessions, interactive discussions, and strategic networking opportunities. Guided by the theme “We’re All In,” the Symposium reflects a shared commitment to collective learning, collaboration, and strengthening Canada’s workers’ compensation systems.

Looking ahead, AWCBC will issue future callouts for both session presenters and MC/Emcee for full day moderation, creating new opportunities for members to actively contribute to the program and learning experience.

Further details, including participation opportunities and registration information, will be shared in the coming months.
