ACEC’s first ever virtual conference was an unqualified success with the over 150 industry members participating.
The business program, with the theme of Reimagining our World, explored the larger themes with which Canada and the world have been trying to come to terms with. Where are we as an industry? Where should we go and how do we get there?
Through meaningful dialogue, panelists tackled the questions of how our industry should recalibrate and what consulting engineering firms need to do to position themselves for the future.
You still have a chance to hear from the great line-up of keynote speakers, panelists and moderators who shared their views on how we can rethink the fundamentals of our industry and the role we should and can play in supporting society’s evolution toward a greener, more inclusive world.
