We are are pleased to announce the CLA inaugural CPD event outside of Canada! We are hosting this conference, January 19-21, 2024 at the beautiful JW Marriott Cancun.

The resort is located in the Cancun hotel zone where there are lots of local restaurants and attractions within walking distance (and 6.8 miles away from the CUN airport.) Direct flights are easy to find and the weather in January is quite reliable. We chose a hotel with an adult pool and a child-friendly pool. Conference attendees are welcome to bring their families and children (just not to the actual conference sessions).

The conference will not be recorded or live streamed as attendance must be in-person. Conference attendees will have plenty of time to enjoy the sun and local activities after the breakfast sessions are completed.

The CLA is not liable for ensuring members have appropriate travel documents. Please check with your travel provider to confirm you have the necessary documents prior to travel.
