We want to invite you to be part of our “Change Conference” that focuses on rebuilding the economy in this era of the rapid change in virtually every part of society that is also significant and unpredictable. Governments and Parliaments are challenged like never before with urgently competing demands that keep changing.
Since April 2020 at Pearson we have hosted top-notch webinars on a broad theme of “Covid & Beyond” and have been able to address economic and social issues that relate to the pandemic and how we need to climb out of it. The numbers: One overarching theme, 40 webinars, over 100 experts including some 15 MP, Ministers and Senators, over 8000 viewers. These webinars are available on our YouTube channel here. The conference builds on an important year and focuses in on what Canada should be focusing on next in re-building the economy.
The conference will open with a discussion with Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan and include representatives of all parties and various experts over the three weeks. Please see the list of topics and confirmed speakers to date, attached. While attendance is free, Sponsorhips are welcome.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Gallant, Sandra Pupatello & JP Gladu
