Variation in
learning formats
is key to any
successful
learning experience.
The right tempo, timing
and ratio of types of
classes were what made
this conference special.
The education team
did such an amazing
job of internalizing the
conference design and
then recruiting the best
of the best teachers from
Calgary and around the
world to bring that design
to life. When you can
offer a man in nothing but
a tutu alongside one of
Canada’s top economists
and both resonate deeply
with your audience, you’ve
done something right.”
— Kevin White,
Chief Strategist &
Founder, XPL Events
Attending ILEA Live
in Calgary was a great
experience for a few
reasons! First of all
the international draw of Calgary
as a destination brought diverse
attendees to the conference.
This delivered good networking
opportunities and global perspec-
tives from a variety of world class
speakers.
Canadian and especially
Calgarian hospitality is second
to none. The local event industry
professionals did a great job and
produced engaging events sur-
rounding the conference.
 Finally, and by far not the least-
the beautiful Canadian Rockies
offered a unique opportunity to
explore Banff, Lake Louise and the
surrounding areas. A place I can
only describe as God’s Country!
