During 2008, Québec City is pulling out all the stops to celebrate its 400th anniversary, and the 2008 CBA Canadian Legal Conference takes place in the heart of the festivities.

One of the great voices of contemporary literature and a remarkable Renaissance woman, Dr. Maya Angelou will deliver the keynote address at the Opening Plenary.

Former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and National Chief Phil Fontaine will offer up thought-provoking discussion as breakfast speakers before each of the morning sessions, while writer/columnist Chantal Hébert will share her influential and compelling voice on major national issues at the Closing Lunch.

Talented pianist, singer, actor and performer ... French Canadian Artist Gregory Charles will entertain with an exclusive, live show.

When the day’s work is done, there’s still lots of time to visit some of Québec City’s 400th anniversary activities including visits to exhibitions, a variety of shows, and parades highlighting the city, its historic locations and the St. Lawrence River.
