Every two years EKO hosts this pinnacle event and the largest gathering of professionals and stakeholders from Ontario and across Canada.

The EKO Spring Symposium 2025 offered a personalized experience designed to elevate professional practice, forge connections, build new and collaborative relationships, and inspire with dynamic ideas. We featured sessions that change perspectives and provoke new thinking, along with Q&As, roundtables, poster presentations, and the popular Schmooza Palooza where attendees grew their network meeting colleagues from around our province and across Canada.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We hope you formed meaningful connections in our networking spaces, gained insights from mentors and colleagues, celebrated changemakers, and enjoyed the beauty of spring in the heart of downtown Toronto.
