INSPIRE TO ACTION 2024

Welcome to the Student Leadership Conference 2024: From Inspiration to Action

Join us at TMU Leadership's annual Student Leadership Conference. This year's theme, "From Inspiration to Action," is designed to empower students to transition their leadership aspirations into actionable realities. The conference is a great opportunity to ask questions, facilitate conversations about relevant topics and seek advice from leaders in their field while also connecting with other attendees! 

The INSPIRE TO ACTION 2024 conference aims to build the leadership capacity of students to inspire leadership on and off campus. Through powerful keynote speakers, shared storytelling, and interactive activities the INSPIRE conference gives students the opportunity to explore leadership and motivates them to take initiative within their own communities. 

Exciting Opportunity: Case Competition: Dive into the heart of the conference with our engaging Case Competition! For the first time, the SLC will host a case competition, inviting students to form teams of 8-10 individuals to tackle an issue directly affecting the Toronto community. Participants will delve into real-world problem-solving, leveraging insights from professors, industry experts, community influencers, and inspirational alumni. Teams will craft comprehensive case presentations aimed at proposing innovative solutions in a pitch to an esteemed panel of judges. Showcase your leadership, problem-solving, and creativity skills as you compete for a grand team prize of $1000. A perfect chance to put theory into practice and see real results! More details to come closer to the event.
