Audio visual services for the conference provided by Welcome to the #Can2020 Conference

When you registered, we asked you what kind of Canada you wanted by the year 2020.

It is a compelling question, and one that we hope inspires you to think beyond the normal boundaries of our policy and political cycle. And with an election on the horizon, and the marketplace for new ideas open, now is exactly the time to do that.

That is why is we are so happy that you are here. The ideas, issues and challenges we are about to tackle together will only come to life through your questions, your insight, and your openness to think in new ways.

Over these next two days, we will hear from some of the most well-known and influential policy, and thought-leaders from Canada and around the world. As well, on our second stage, we will be learning the tools and tactics of new organizing from some of the most experienced campaigners and advocacy professionals operating today. This marriage of policy and politics is essential for building a modern progressive movement in Canada.

Treat this book like your guide for the conference. It holds the full agenda, the participant lists and their bios, a stage map, and more. And during the conference, we encourage you to amplify what you see and hear through social media using our hashtag #Can2020. Engage your networks back home, and bring some of their questions and comments back here. Let’s get trending.

So once again than you very much for being here at the #Can2020 Conference. We are so looking forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Tim Barber Matt Browne Co-Founder, Canada 2020 Executive Director, Global Progress ABOUT CANADA 2020
