Why attend? 

You won’t want to miss our opening keynote on Tuesday, March 11, Charting the future: Canadian politics in transition, sponsored by Aviva Canada, featuring freelance political journalist Chantal Hébert. With a new Liberal Party leader to be announced just days before Hébert takes the stage and an upcoming federal election, she will have lots to say about Canada’s evolving political landscape.

We are also excited to announce that Patrick Lamarre, President of Kiewit Canada Group Inc., and Heather Masterson, President and CEO of Travelers Canada, will join CCA President Rodrigue Gilbert for our CEO power lunch on Wednesday, March 12. These top executives will explore emerging business trends and growth opportunities in a rapidly changing market.

Paul Smetanin, President of the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis, will follow with Building in the void: Governance challenges, risks facing Canada’s construction future. This presentation will delve into how politicalization, questionable leadership, and the misuse of resources has exposed the construction industry to significant risks.

The Innovator’s Pitch: CONtact Mentorship session, sponsored by Pomerleau, is back, but this time with five new innovators vying to be voted the most promising innovation.

Whether you’re a contractor, supplier, or stakeholder, there’s something for everyone at this conference.
