BEAT Symposiums

Each year, BEAT hosts an all-day event that offers in-depth learning and networking. The BEAT Symposiums alternate between a Leadership Seminar format that highlights the careers of emerging and established leaders, and a Forum that explores issues surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion. Typically, the day includes a panel discussion, networking lunch, and afternoon break-out sessions led by the morning’s panelists. In 2018, BEAT was the first AED organization in Ontario to offer unconscious bias training—through a BEAT Forum event—a topic which was later adopted by larger organizations, including the OAA.
