STUDENT DAY

Student Day serves two main purposes: 1) to welcome and benefi t the local student community with the opportunity of sharing the debate on IA in a way that is only possible in an international and hence very plural environment, and 2) to provide participating students with important information on the experience of IA practitioners and some of the companies represented in the conference, with a theme forum where challenges facing new impact assessment professionals will be highlighted.

Luis E. Sanchez President, IAIA | University of São Paulo IMPACT ASSESSMENT:

Welcome to Calgary and the 33rd Annual Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment. This year, the “next generation” is our THE NEXT GENERATION theme. Sharing knowledge, learning and interacting with new and old generations of impact assessment practitioners, researchers and educators are wonderful opportunities provided by the Conference. Enjoy the plenary The conference theme embraces the impact of current and parallel sessions, the informal talks and the pleasant city and its surroundings. global change now and in the coming decades and how impact assessment (IA) itself will evolve as a result. The “next generation” refers both to a new generation of practitioners and to new approaches to IA practice internationally to address issues of global concern.

Miles Scott-Brown Richard Roberts Co-Chair, IAIA13 Co-Chair, IAIA13 The next few decades are seen as a nexus of environmental

The theme of this year’s IAIA conference “Impact Assessment: The Next Generation” addresses two key issues facing the future of IA: How after more eff ects to the global commons (e.g., climate change, than forty years will impact assessment respond to the global ecological, regulatory and economic challenges now very much in front of us; and how biodiversity, soil degradation and loss, ocean productivity, can we as current IA practitioners help foster the continued development and growth of the next generation of practitioners? This year you join over 1000 delegates, the fi rst time ever for an IAIA loss of Aboriginal cultures) coupled with increased urban, conference. Your plate is going to be full! We have over 100 technical sessions discussing a diverse range of topics facing the future of IA. While you make time to attend these important discussions, we also encourage human and economic development. These global changes you to sit down with a colleague to catch up or attend other networking events we are featuring throughout the conference. That is one of the most have profound implications to the trajectory of IA and of important parts of IAIA – the opportunity to network with colleagues and make new friends. Calgary is well placed to host this conference and this year’s theme. The nations. You, as a participant in this conference, are part of city is a home to a thriving IA practice at many levels: from a municipal government of more than a million inhabitants committed to sustainability and growth, to a well-developed local IA consultancies some of which span this new future. the globe, to an energy industry responding to challenges of oil sands development, to a provincial and federal regulatory process that itself is in the midst of change. We also hope you take the time to experience some of the great sights and experiences Calgary and region is famous for. Last year in Porto, we ask participants to take the Calgary white hat pledge that welcomes new visitors to Calgary - we now present it to those delegates joining us at IAIA13. …..havin’ visited the only genuine Western city in Canada, namely Calgary, and havin’ been duly treated to exceptional amounts of heart-warmin’, hand-shakin’, tongue-loosenin’, back-slappin’, neighbor-lovin’ Western spirit, I do solemnly promise to spread this here brand of hospitality to all folks and critters who cross my trail hereafter. On the count of three, we will all raise our hats and give a loud “Yahoo!” Welcome to Calgary and to IAIA13!
