2009 Annual Conference

The IPAC 2009 Annual Conference in Fredericton, New Brunswick is fast approaching. The theme of this years conference is "Turnarounds". Given the turnaround we need in the economy of the country, the organizers could not have picked a better topic.

The program is going to be stellar with a host of keynote speakers including:

Louise Fréchette, the former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations, who will be speaking on UN reform;

Roel Becker, Secretary-General for the Reform of the Dutch Government;

Bruce Little, Policy Analyst and Author, on Canada Pension Plan Reform;
Hon. John H. Gomery on Turning Around Canada’s Dysfunctional Accountability Arrangements; and

Martin Wildberger, VP of Sensor Solutions and Director, IBM Canada on Transforming the Planet: A Mandate for Change is a Mandate for Smarter Systems.

In addition there are numerous workshops with fabulous speakers.

And of course, you can savour the hospitality of beautiful New Brunswick. If you have not registered yet, you can still do so by clicking here

I hope to see many of you in New Brunswick.

I will be blogging from the conference, but it won't be the same as being there in person!

Will be driving to Fredericton and plan to stay for a few days of sightseeing after the conference - going to Hopewell Rocks to walk on the ocean floor when the Bay of Fundy is at low tide (don't want to try that at high tide!), going to go whale watching & enjoy beautiful New Brunswick.
