carbon neutralCarbon Neutral Conference

Every aim has been made to reduce the carbon footprint, or human impact, this conference will make on the environment. Producing an event completely void of a carbon footprint is extremely difficult, and in order to reach neutral status IAPA will be offsetting the remaining carbon footprint by reinvesting in an equal amount of sustainable resources.


Keynote Speakers


Dennis Hull
Fourteen year veteran, National Hockey League

Humour & Hockey
A self-effacing brother to Bobby and proud uncle, Dennis is a fourteen-year veteran of the National Hockey League spending 13 seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks and one with the Detroit Red Wings. He played in over 1,000 games during his NHL career and was known for his powerful shot on net which many qualified observers, including rival goaltenders, say equaled or surpassed that of his brother Bobby. Over his career, Dennis amassed 303 goals and 351 assists in the regular season and scored 33 goals and the same number of assists in 95 playoff games. Six selections to the All-Star Game are further testament to his hockey skills. Dennis brings to the speaker's podium a wealth of anecdotes and stories from his many experiences. His understated after-dinner speaking style is fast becoming a trademark. He has quickly become one of the most sought-after head table guests in the business.
