Q: What programs or events do you hope to see at the next Winter Summit?<br />
A. David Thompson: One of my favourite podcasts tells stories about successful people who<br />
triumph over debilitating career rejection. The Honourable Justice Karakatsanis spoke during her<br />
SCC tour about how she was rejected from the first legal job she applied to, which seemed to resonate<br />
with attendees. It will be really meaningful to have a panel/theme focused on overcoming<br />
perceived rejections, or failures in the legal profession.<br />
Q: What feedback did you receive from conference attendees this year? What were some of<br />
the highlights that people were talking about?<br />
A. Erin Durant: The feedback from the conference was very strong. It was clear that there<br />
was an overdue, and unmet, need for a conference for mid-career advocates. The attendees<br />
appreciated the conference topics, as well as the time and space provided for socializing and<br />
building connections.<br />
