Participants

This “must-attend” annual P3 event attracts a wide range of participants from the public sector at the municipal, provincial/territorial and federal level across Canada. Private sector delegates represent a cross- section of P3-related professions, including law, finance, construction, insurance, engineering, IT, architecture, auditing, consulting, communications, real estate development and facility maintenance. There are also a number of attendees from other countries looking for Canadian opportunities or best practices. Based on the results from the 2015 survey of conference delegates and speakers, 90% said that the conference met their goals.

Conference Sessions & Formats

The sessions at the conference include engaging, interactive discussions on a diversity of P3 projects, issues and best practices from Canada and other countries. As most of the delegates are experienced P3 practitioners, the level of dialogue tends to be more advanced. However, there are select sessions that meet the needs of those new to the sector. Along with reflecting the areas of P3-related expertise, sessions at the CCPPP National Conference touch on a number of sectors, including healthcare, transportation, public transit, aboriginal P3s, water/wastewater, justice & corrections, IT, education, energy and government service delivery. At the end of the two days, participants leave with a solid grasp of the current issues facing the P3 area and innovative ideas on how to take their P3 projects to the next level.

Media & Social Media

A number of trade media from Canada and other countries cover the conference and publish content following the event. Daily newspapers and broadcast media also cover select sessions or speakers. The media are provided with audio/video feeds from sessions as well as a press conference room. CCPPP is also active on social media, engaging participants and the broader community on conference topics, speakers and issues.

International Delegations

Government representatives from many countries attend the conference to learn more about the Canadian model and often to attract Canadian companies to their own P3 market. CCPPP partners with Canada’s Department of Global Affairs to facilitate side meetings for international delegations with Canadian industry and government representatives.
