π Welcome to 2026! π
As Peter Drucker once said: βThe best way to predict the future is to create it.β This year, we are not waiting to see what happens, we are taking the lead and we are so glad you are here to build it with us!
We begin 2026 on a high note: more than 50 speaker proposals have already been submitted by our community. π It's a powerful signal of engagement, momentum, and shared purpose around our next theme: βBuilding Trust, Bridging Worlds.β (Β«Construire la Confiance, Rouvrir le Dialogue.Β»)
As we move toward our next gathering in π΄π΄π΄ OttawaβGatineau, 13β16 October 2026, we invite you to pause, reflect, and set the tone for the year with a few quotes that are guiding our journey:
π§± βWe build too many walls and not enough bridges.β β Isaac Newton
π€ βTrust is the glue of lifeβ¦ the foundational principle that holds all relationships.β β Stephen Covey
π§ βTrust is gained drop by drop, but lost by the liter.β β Jean-Paul Sartre
π± βThe future depends on what you do today.β β Mahatma Gandhi
May 2026 be a year of courage, connection, dialogue, and trust that we built together, one conversation at a time.
β¨ Happy New Year! β¨ Bonne annΓ©e 2026 !
