What kind of Canada do you want in 2020?
That is the guiding question behind our major policy conference happening on October 2nd and 3rd of this year.
Join us in Ottawa as we will tackle the big, forward-looking questions of our time. By 2020, what do we want to accomplish as a nation? What areas of progress are important to us? And where do we want to be on the world stage?
Online Registration is now closed! You can purchase a conference pass at the gate starting Wednesday, October 1st at 2 PM.
Right now, Canada is at an inflection point: the marketplace for ideas is open, and our policy community needs new ways to grow our economy, strike a balance between energy and the environment, rebuild healthy, sustainable communities and navigate complex, 21st century challenges like privacy and international security.
The #Can2020 Conference is our opportunity to set in motion the idea-generation process that will carry Canada into a new decade. Together with the Center for American Progress’ Global Progress Initiative, we invite you to hear some of the world’s most influential thinkers, organizers, policy developers and business leaders.
Your conference pass includes access to all of the sessions during the two-day event (panels, breakouts, keynote speeches), a delegate kit, two lunches, and exclusive access to multiple networking receptions and socials throughout the conference.
