Get ready for an unforgettable experience in Calgary at FCM’s 2024 Annual Conference and Trade Show from June 6 to 9.

Join us on our main stage to hear political keynote speakers, engaging plenary sessions and explore how a new Municipal Growth Framework can lay the groundwork for a brighter future for Canada.

Our workshop topics cover a wide range of themes, from fostering healthier work environments and enhancing climate resilience to developing strategic partnerships and mastering advocacy for your municipality’s issues.

These sessions promise to address today’s pressing municipal challenges like housing, infrastructure and climate adaptation, while also pinpointing avenues for advancements—such as how AI can improve municipal operations as well as public safety and holistic housing strategies.

At FCM’s 2024 Annual Conference and Trade Show, we are Redefining our future, together.
