Cannexus will take place Jan. 27-29, 2025, both virtually and in Ottawa, Canada. The virtual and in-person portions are essentially separate events with different sessions taking place within the greater whole of the hybrid umbrella. But there will be multiple touchpoints throughout the conference where virtual and in-person delegates can interact. Regardless of which format you choose, you will still be part of a unique gathering where you will explore innovative approaches in career and workforce development, and connect with peers from across Canada and around the world.
Although the virtual and in-person portions of Cannexus are mostly separate, there are sessions that act as bridges between the virtual and in-person experiences. Keynotes and Main Stage sessions will all be shown in both the virtual and in-person events at the same time. These sessions will be streamed from the Rogers Centre Ottawa (formerly Shaw Centre) into the virtual conference platform.
Note: During the in-person conference, in-person attendees will not be able to view the virtual sessions. However, when the conference is over (after Jan. 29), all in-person attendees will be able to access the full virtual conference platform to watch the virtual recorded sessions for three months. Virtual attendees also receive three months’ access to the virtual platform.
In-person sessions will not be recorded or available to virtual attendees with the exception of in-person keynotes and Main Stage sessions, which will be streamed live in the virtual platform as well as recorded and available for viewing for three months.
