“CMED is a great conference with excellent networking opportunities with passionate people, and a good forum for sharing ideas. Each year I take away new ideas and build relationships with those in the industry that I can tap into in the future.”

Sheila Burt, University of New Brunswick

“CMED has been a critical part of my professional development. So many memories. So many friends. Even after over four decades in the business of executive education, across four universities, I always know I’ll learn a lot, and I’m always willing to share and to try to raise the bar for our industry.”
