Spring Tune Up is back on May 23, 2024

Spring Tune Up 2024: Becoming Indispensable 

ACFO-ACAF’s flagship professional development event is coming back to the Shaw Centre on May 23, with inspiring and engaging keynotes, a career fair and an all-new feature that we’re excited to introduce! 

Register today!  

Plenary speakers 

This year’s event is all about becoming an indispensable part of your work team and department. With the world changing around us and increasing pressure on government to reprioritize spending, it’s vital that you know your value and how to show it to the people around you.  

Hear from insightful speakers such as: 

  • Stephanie Kelton, a leading US economist and policy advisor who will talk about her experiences advocating for a new approach to economic policy before, during, and since the upheaval of the COVID 19 pandemic; 
     
  • David Moscrop, an academic, commentator, and the author of Too Dumb For Democracy?, who will talk about why people make bad political decisions and what role the public service can play in improving decision making;  
     
  • Patrick Leroux, a business coach and celebrated speaker who will talk about how to build trust and confidence with your colleagues, clients, and leaders; 
     
  • And more! 

All plenary sessions (4.0 CPD hours) will be held in the Shaw Centre’s Canada Hall 1 as well as being streamed online for remote attendees! 

Register today! 

New: CT Community Showcase Stage 

This year we’re also excited to launch the new CT Community Showcase Stage, where members of the CT Community will share their own stories and career advice on a special stage in the Parliament Foyer of the Shaw Centre.  

Want to be part of the showcase? Learn more and apply today through the Joint Career Development Program!  

These quick-fire sessions will take place during meal breaks and are an optional addition to the day for our in-person attendees.  

Please note that interpretation will not be available for these sessions; the language of the presentations will be noted on the agenda. These sessions will also not be streamed online. In-person attendees will be able to claim up to 1.5 unverifiable CPD hours as attendance will not be monitored.  

CT Career Fair 

We’re also pleased to announce the return of the CT Career Fair, with more than a dozen departments expected to be on hand for those looking for deployment opportunities or to broaden their professional networks. The Career Fair will also include a networking pavilion where you can sit and dine with your colleagues or share stories with your new contacts as you recharge your devices throughout the day.
