Leading the North

Leading the North is the annual conference hosted by  Northern Alberta Development Council (NADC) and northern municipalities. The 2012 conference, to be hosted in Fort McMurray, January 25 through 27, 2012, follows in the footsteps of the very successful Growing the North Conference held in the County of Grande Prairie, January 2011.

The 2012 conference will once again focus on the economy, and since it is held in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, it will also focus on oil sands, environment and quality of life issues. Planning for the conference is in the process with NADC, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce and other partners. While oil sands are always a focus in the Wood Buffalo region, this conference will also focus on all the other things that make the Wood Buffalo region special.

Mark your calendars for January 25 – 27, 2012 for what is sure to be must attend conference of 2012. For more information contact us.
