MOSAIC’s Immigrant Professionals Conference is taking place on November 26, at UBC Robson Square. This year’s conference theme is “Unleash Your Professional Potential.” If you have held back on a skill or have been tentative in your decisions, now is the time to unleash your professional potential!

For the last 12 years, MOSAIC has been organizing the annual Immigrant Professionals Conference (IPC) and has been receiving consistent positive reviews and feedback.

Each year the event provides 250+ immigrant professionals with the opportunity to further their professional development via presentations by inspiring speakers, active participation in plenary, breakout sessions and panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

IPC’s objective is to provide guidance, encouragement and inspiration to newcomer professionals who will benefit from their exposure and connection to experts and leaders in their respective fields. Learning the trends in the current labour market and applying the strategies and skills in their own personal career advancement would be a meaningful take away from this event.
