Learn, Grow, Thrive in 2025: AAP Edmonton’s Administrative Professionals Conference

The AAP Edmonton Branch (AAPYEG) is hosting the 2025 National AGM and Conference in Edmonton on June 5 & 6!

Day 1 (June 5) includes an all-day professional development workshop, followed by an awards banquet, and the morning of Day 2 (June 6) is the National annual general meeting.

The PD workshop speaker is Brandi Heather. Brandi Heather isn’t just a speaker—she’s an experience. With humor, energy, and neuroscience-backed insights, she creates interactive events that help people reconnect, recharge, and lead with confidence. Audiences don’t just listen—they engage, laugh, and leave with real strategies to thrive. Because play isn’t extra—it’s essential. Check out her teaser video here.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL MAY 4! Register for one or more events here.

The event takes place at the Doubletree by Hilton West Edmonton. A two-queen room is $172 plus taxes, and a king room is $197 plus taxes. Rooms can be booked here.
