ASC Connect 2020
The Alberta Securities Commission's fourth annual ASC Connect conference was held virtually on October 27, 2020. Our objective was to shed light on Alberta’s plan for economic recovery and the efforts underway to foster resiliency and innovation. Thanks to the almost 700 Albertans who registered and joined us for the conference. For those who were unable to attend, the recordings of each session are available below.
We heard from The Honourable Travis Toews, Alberta's Minister of Finance, about Alberta's recovery plan. Expert panelists contributed their insights and information and we had meaningful panel discussions about how we are adapting to our current market realities, fostering resilience, promoting growth in technology, innovation and capital formation and considering ways Alberta can leverage its existing advantages.
Attendees were encouraged to attend upcoming innovation conferences such as Show Me the Money and She Innovates’ Women Leading Innovation. To register for these events, click here. If you choose INVENTURE$ Unbound ONLY, use code 20UNBD100 for complimentary access.
