Western Regional Conference 2014

Hey AIESECers,

This is by far long overdue, but better late than never! During the long weekend in October, we travelled from Edmonton all the way to Vancouver for the Western Reginal Conference (WRC). Took us 2 days to travel for 3 days of fun and amazing experiences. The travel was "only"13 hours. Super dreadful, but fun! Our ride there everyone was awkward and shy but on our way home, we were all super comfortable with one another!

From Purposeful to Opportunity fair the experience was amazing! You learn so much from your peers and their experiences with AIESEC. I want to put it out there that you have to at least one conference to truly feel like you're part of AIESEC. I don't want to tell you guys too much about it because I encourage you all to participate in future conferences. However, I assure you; at the end of each conference you will create friendships, become more knowledgeable, and be more driven.

I’ve attended many AIESEC conferences since joining in 2011, so it’s been an interesting experience handling the logistics of the next national conference for AIESEC Canada.

My decision to join the Organizing Committee wasn’t clearly thought out. I never considered the time commitment, the stress level, or the poor timing things would follow. But what I knew was that I would not get this type of opportunity again. The chance to organize a 5-day conference for 300 students is not a common occurrence. But that’s what AIESEC does: it provides unique opportunities for students to develop themselves personally and professionally. And that’s definitely what I’m getting out of this. I know by the end of this conference, with every moment spent planning, scheduling, fighting, sweating, stressing, and negotiating, I’ll come of it a better person.

But what’s important to me isn’t my experience with this conference; it’s yours. I hope to see 300 students in May excited and eager to take everything this conference has to offer. I hope every delegate has an unforgettable experience,and can build that passion for AIESEC like I did my first conference, and at every conference I attended after. I want every person to grow, to make new friends, and especially, have fun! So I’m working for you, AIESEC Canada. This is about you; this is your conference.

If you’ve got some seriously fun ideas, let us know on Facebook. As VP Logistics, I’ll do everything logistically possible for this conference to be an everlasting memory in your AIESEC experience. I cannot wait for May when I get to see all your beautiful faces here in Calgary!
