Creating the New Alberta Convention


This electrifying convention will set direction and take action for Alberta’s economic recovery and long-term diversification.


Alberta is coming together as industry and professional leaders to share their Big Ideas.  This is your opportunity to share your Big Ideas with the team of Albertans who will help see them through. This is a gathering for you, me, and all Albertans where we will discuss what can be done, what is being done, and what will be done.

The Creating the New Alberta Convention is the spark that will move Alberta forward along the road to economic recovery and long-term diversification.  All the players will be there with their sleeves rolled up, ready to take action.  The time is NOW for innovation.
