Professional Development Conference

About the Professional Development Conference

The Link’s Professional Development Conference is designed for students who have demonstrated strong leadership and management skills through their extracurricular involvement at Laurier.

Over two days, delegates will develop their leadership, management, networking and professional skills which will facilitate their growth as leaders on their respective student clubs. Seminars and workshops are facilitated by professionals in the business community and within the University.

Seminars and workshops include:

  • Motivation and Performance
  • Networking and Professionalism
  • Leadership Development and Communication
  • Marketing Your Brand
  • Internal Affairs
  • Reaching out to first-year students

The event proves to be an in-valuable experience for delegates. Help train the leaders of tomorrow, today!
