On November 20, join us for a keynote luncheon featuring an address from Stéphanie Vaillancourt, President, Canada at AtkinsRéalis, as she explores how engineering with purpose, meaningful partnerships, and expertise rooted in both Canadian and global experience can help Alberta—and Calgary—realize their bold vision for prosperity, today and for the future. Alberta’s story is one of pioneers—people who built a province by daring to dream, taking risks, and forging partnerships across cultures and communities. Nowhere is this spirit more alive than in Calgary, a city that embodies Alberta’s drive for innovation, growth, and resilience. Created by the integration of long-standing organizations dating back to 1911, AtkinsRéalis is a world-class engineering services and nuclear company. Their expertise, developed here in Canada and enriched by global experience, is dedicated to serving Canadians and supporting Alberta’s ambitions. AtkinsRéalis believes that shaping Alberta’s future means working together—with Indigenous communities, business leaders, partners across Canada, and all those who call this province home.
