CNAM Annual Hybrid Conference 2023 | Canadian Network of Asset Managers | 30 April 2023 | Fredericton Convention Centre, 670 Queen St, Fredericton, NB E3B 1C2, Canada

Attending a conference does not simply benefit the individual registered, it will also positively impact the municipality, organization, or company of the attendee.

This year’s conference brings together attendees from across Canada to engage, network and learn through an exciting 3-day program of thought-provoking sessions with a focus on:

Awareness – Having a presence at the conference can give positive visibility to your municipality, organization or company and ensure your part of the important industry conversations and have a proverbial “seat at the table”.

Networking – With industry leaders from across Canada and beyond. Attending can help you stay relevant, providing vital leads, connections, ideas, and new connections post conference.

Education – Having multiple team members present, is cost-effective, and means that they can divide and conquer to attend different workshops, plenaries, and concurrent sessions to have a pulse on key industry topics, trends, and changes, all of which can be brought back to benefit your municipality, organization, or company long term.

Growth Opportunity – It has been a difficult few years. Your team member(s) are ambassadors of your municipality, organization or company, and participation shows them a vote of confidence in the work they are doing and their importance. This will not only provide benefits for the above reasons but give the individual(s) a growth opportunity in the industry. It adds to a positive work relationship and could potentially help in job retention.

Lastly, Fredericton is Fantastic - Fredericton provides the classic Maritime experience delegates know and love, enhanced by a thriving music and cultural scene, an unparalleled cluster of authentic experiences and advanced technology. Add in a close-knit, walkable downtown, kilometers of green space alongside the majestic Wolastoq / Saint John River and you will discover a perfect combination of history, culture, and unique experiences. Locals are proud of their dynamic community and diversity of the city. All the things that make Fredericton, New Brunswick a great place to live also make it a great place to meet. Whether you are a nature lover, adventure seekers, sightseers, history buffs, shoppers or dining aficionados, there is something for you in Fredericton!
