The Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is seeking hosts for the 2024 and 2025 Petro-Canada™ Sport Leadership sportif conferences.
The Petro-Canada Sport Leadership sportif Conference (SLS) is an annual conference organized by the CAC that fosters the development of Canada as a leading sport nation and reinforces the CAC’s role in achieving that goal.
Known as Canada's premier annual conference for sport leaders, the event welcomes national, provincial/territorial and local coaches, sport administrators, coach educators, and sport researchers. Delegates convene for an opportunity to learn, network, and celebrate achievements in sport. In attendance are the CEOs and administrative staff of National Sport Organizations, responsible for site selection of their respective annual competitions, including regional and national championships.
The conference includes the annual Petro-Canada Sport Leadership Awards Gala. Petro-Canada, a Suncor business, has been the title sponsor of the conference since 2003.
Please reach out to us at sportleadership@coach.ca for more information and to indicate interest in submitting a proposal. The deadline for proposals is June 30, 2023.
