"...absolutely world-class"
"The best thing about the program were the speakers. They were absolutely world-class, and they were different. We had a large group of speakers, everybody unique in their own way, but they were each able to give us something new that we didn't know before."
Tennielle Grimeau, Director of Player Relations, Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, Saskatoon, Canada
"...a different perspective of what you're able to do"

"I was truly amazed at the quality and caliber of the program"
As a fortunate participant in the 2018 EDP, I was truly amazed at the quality and caliber of the program and overall experience I gained during the past 12 days. Regardless of the position you hold or the organization you work for, you will absolutely see benefits from attending this program. I was fortunate enough to work with distinguished leaders from around the world and sharing our feedback at the conclusion of this adventure, it was remarkable how the impact of this learning could be heard from the highest ranking member in our team to the most junior leader. This investment will pay strong dividends to your personal development and success that your organization will see from your participation in the program. The work you folks do is truly amazing and I can’t wait to recommend that our organization ensure that more people attend next year.
