Past TCD
TCD 2023 - Courage & Compassion
2023 was a balance of self reflect and interaction with others. Our theme of courage, challenged attendees to find their comfort levels and push beyond to embrace courage for things that are new, different and changing! We also leant into the experience of discomfort and the need to show compassion for others navigating things that courage alone cannot propel them through. Our keynote with Dana Pharant saw attendees trusting folks to be escorted around the main hall, while blindfolded and challenged trandtional thinking. This year also gave us the courage to reevaluate our model and begin the journey of tranisitioning through 2024 from a November event to a March event in 2025 and onwards.
TCD 2022 - The Power of Play
2022 was a celebration of a 5th year for our community and with it a returning to the amazing Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre for an weekend of play. Yes, we focused on the power of play this year and as well as giving folks an opportunity to have fun and games together, we relaxed and enjoyed being back in person after a couple of years of turmoil. Recognizing the strenght of our online presence, we still had some great virtual engagement the week before and after. We were delighted to have our keynote, Lennart Nacke from the University of Waterloo, creating one of our most memorable Friday evenings, with a very energetic experience, we live streamed it too!
TCD 2021 - The Evolution of Engagement
2021 was a year of continued challenges and we recognized early that we had to make the TCD2021 experience a virtual one, but that wasn’t going to take away the opportunities. A lot of webcam fatigue needed us to play smart across the week and yes, we did do this across a whole week and two weekends with live and asynchronous activity supported by our wonderful friends at Howspace. The focus on engagement helped us to recognize the potential of our own community engagement and build on our regular check-ins and community connection moments that had been running since early 2020.
TCD 2020 - Building Bridges
2020 was not an easy year for anyone. Little did we know how much we’d be navigating this year and next. We approached TCD2020 with a mindset of change and we moved fully online. Recognizing that our community was hurting through the pandemic, we slimmed down our experience and focused on giving people a space to connect on just one day in November. We also had the infamous Berline Change Days connect and brought both events together for a unique moment in time.
TCD 2019 - Living Values
2019 was all about recognizing our values. We had some emotionally charged sessions and really thought provoking moments about the way we are driven in our space to achieve what we want and the change neeeded to fulfill its potential. We were joined by folks from Europe, Australia, Asia and the Americas this year and we had a fantastic shout out from Forbes after the event.
TCD 2018 - Agility, boundaries and curiosity
Our first year started with ABC and we found the fantastic Japanese Canadian Culture Centre to be our base. Several European compatriots came over to Toronto and we had some great fun running round rooms, creating images across the walls, posting our thoughts and of course we ended with our now infamous mashups including music, dance and more.
