The case study, developed by the highly regarded technical team at Canada Life International, will be acted out on stage by professionals from the National Film Institute playing clients and advisers. 

In small break out groups, delegate will come up with ideas and solutions in overcoming the problems, after which David will chair a discussion on the stage to ensure a lively debate and bring all the threads together.
