MESSAGE FROM HOST FEDERATON PRESIDENT RANDY UPRIGHT

Dear WEC Colleagues

The Association of Canadian Search, Employment & Staffing Services (ACSESS) is privileged to have been selected to host the World Employment Conference (WEC) 2026. This prestigious annual event will be held in the vibrant City of Toronto, the commercial and financial hub of Canada, situated on the shores of Lake Ontario.  Not only is Toronto the economic and technology hub of Canada, it is known for its diversity, expansive arts scene  and iconic landmarks.

Our national directors, chapter leaders and conference planners are looking forward to welcoming delegates from around the world! 

The WEC leadership, together with our own ACSESS team, have built an outstanding program showcasing global dignitaries, high profile business executives and professional speakers. Networking events will provide an invaluable opportunity for delegates from over 30 countries to share their experiences, best practices and highlight the industry future.  

With the rapid social, political, economic and technological changes transforming our industry at a pace never before known, there has never been a better time to come together internationally. Alongside WEC President Bettina Schaller, I am honoured to invite you to the World Employment Conference 2026 – Grow with Talent – an event that embodies the HR services industry’s commitment to leading the way in building inclusive, resilient, and well-regulated talent markets.

We look forward to seeing you at The Sheraton Centre Hotel – Toronto, on May 12 & 13, 2026.
