ASC Connect 2026
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
To everyone who attended ASC Connect 2026: thank you for your presence and engagement. It was a privilege to mark 10 years of gathering with you.
We hope you made new connections, caught up with a colleague, or explored a topic you might not have otherwise.
This year’s theme asked one question: where does Alberta’s capital market go from here?
As we navigate shifting trade dynamics, economic uncertainty, new opportunities, and the outcome of a historic referendum, the answer in the room was clear.
We build it together.
Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
