The CIA’s Annual Meeting has undergone a transformation. Our refreshed, flagship annual conference, act19, brings a stronger focus on continuing professional development, new session formats, TED-style talks, and more networking time. The two-day event offers a bilingual program developed by Canadians for Canadians, with the high-quality meeting experience that the CIA is known for—great food and social activities, a handy app to stay connected, and plenty of opportunities to grow and strengthen your personal and professional connections. See you in Montréal!
