The IIC Canada runs an Annual Conference which had its origins in the Law Society of Upper Canada’s (now the Law Society of Ontario, or LSO) “New Developments in Communications Law” which began in 1980 and has run every second year since. When the law society backed away about a decade ago, the IIC stepped in and Canada Chapter has been running a “policy” conference every second year and a “law” conference every other year, effectively alternating between the two, although the two conferences are becoming increasingly similar as law and policy are co-mingled.
