Oshawa, ON — Annual business conferences are making their triumphant return for in-person events. The industry will once again be able to gather, network, and maybe indulge a little bit too much this summer after a brief pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) will be holding its national conference from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1 at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel in Halifax, N.S. This year’s theme will ReConnect.
“It has been far too long since we have been together, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our members when we travel to Halifax this Fall,” said Tania Johnston, CEO of MCAC. “We have an outstanding program of events planned and plenty of maritime hospitality in store.”
Over the course of the three-day conference, attendees can take in education sessions that include presentations on labour force issues, contractual issues and opportunities for contractors, new innovations and technologies, and the industry’s role in a transition to net-zero. There will also be various meetings involving the board of directors, associates, and contractors. The conference’s first keynote speaker will be James Duthie, an anchor at TSN. On the final day of the conference, Shaun Majumder, a comedian, will wrap up the event.
Registration for the conference is now open, and early-bird registration fees are available until the end of July. For more information, visit www.conference.mcac.ca.
