The Ottawa Labour Law Conference is the go-to event for labour relations and HR professionals, legal practitioners, and arbitrators, investigators, and mediators. Focusing on the latest developments in federal sector and Ontario labour relations, this conference offers practical discussions on recent key cases, legislative updates, and workplace challenges shaping today’s labour environment. Participants will explore how current legal decisions impact labour relations strategies and workplace compliance. Designed for professionals looking to stay ahead in a rapidly changing field, the event also provides valuable networking opportunities with leading voices in law, government, and labour relations. Deepen your understanding of Canadian labour law, sharpen your approach to workplace issues, and build connections that matter.
