THE TOPICS

BOOM OR BUST
What is the current state of our economy — and what is next? Our experts will explore the national, provincial, and regional economic situation and how we can emerge as economic leaders.

THE WAR FOR TALENT
How can the region overcome emerging workforce issues to remain competitive in the war for talent? We will navigate the gap between Niagara’s needs and our labour force.

HOUSING THE FUTURE
Niagara is projected to grow by 200,000 people and 85,000 jobs in the next 25 years. Are we ready for it? And what are the implications when looking at our housing situation?
