Knowledge Practitioners’ Camp 2025 powered by ACCCA is for problem solvers, practitioners, professionals with an interest in exploring, experimenting, co-creating , and learning in the evolving landscape of work and the world. If you are open to collaboration and bringing the best of you to our community, you are welcome.

An open space unconference is one where you take responsibility for your own learning and co-create the agenda at the event. Check out this open space post by Deb Hartmann Preuss to learn more about open space.

We will be held at the beautiful and inspiring Japanese Canadian Cultural Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

You will arrive on Friday afternoon. We will slowly gather together throughout the afternoon in Kamo Room 2a – mixing, mingling and letting people connect as they wish. In the evening when you return from dinner, we will likely do some icebreakers, led by our organizers, volunteers or the open space facilitators. We might play some games, more connecting and conversing, often to a late hour.

On Saturday, we will have breakfast at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Center. After breakfast, we will begin the open space experience. We will break for lunch around noon. There will be more open space experience in the afternoon. After that we’ll go to dinner and probably stay up late like the first night.

On Sunday, we will have half a day of open space and closing. At around noon we will have lunch. After that, we will clean up and see folks leaving to head back home around 2 p.m.

Note: Accommodations and dinner are not included in your ticket.

To help invite that diversity, we are asking each person who is coming to bring a colleague or friend who will give and receive value.

An insight that occurred to us at last year’s camp is we are passionate about learning and we learn through experimenting & practicing. Hence, sharing knowledge and learning insights, and a practitioner.
