425 Bingemans Centre Drive, Kitchener, ON
11:00 AM–5:00 PM. Structured networking brunch, keynote block (Simon Fallows, Nile Saïd, Kayla O'Hearn), trade show floor 2:00–5:00 PM, VIP luncheon and networking lounge, closing remarks and door prizes at 5:00.
HLVC will exhibit at this event to connect with the Waterloo–Wellington manufacturing and tech corridor — physically demanding workforces where disability incidence, not premium, is the real cost driver.
What we took from the room
- How does the Waterloo–Wellington manufacturing and tech corridor address physically demanding workforces?
- Why is disability incidence, rather than premium, the real cost driver for these organizations?
- How can group plans be better structured to support this specific demographic?
