Hindsight is 20/20

The Design of Good Work Getting the Job Done and Developing Leadership

In this session, learn from the experiences of this panel of dynamic leaders who will share the things they wish they had known in taking on the management of their organizations and share their stories in building their careers. You will take away stories of success and avenues to avoid along with advice from colleagues with years of experience before you take the next step in your career!

Panel Discussion

How many of your direct reports will become CEO’s due to the work they have done with you? This animated and engaging session will address directly the myth of talent. Rather than searching for the “silver bullet” of so-called high potentials in our workplaces, attendees will learn how successful succession requires the good old fashioned challenge of leadership—designing the kind of work that accomplishes tasks while simultaneously creating better leaders. This session will be in a moderated press-conference format, where after a short address, the audience will be invited in teams to craft important questions to shape the conversation.

Prospect Research 101 for Small Shops

Factors for Success: Practical Application of Benchmarking

It provides the bedrock on which fundraising campaigns are built; and delivers quantifiable information that will support and inform everything your organization will do. In this session participants will review a selection of free resources that can be used to conduct prospect research and learn how to internally mine your donor database to uncover potential gems.

Diversity: Creating a Culture of Inclusivity Statistics Canada is estimating that by 2031, more than 30% of Canada’s population will be visible minority, and in urban centers like Vancouver and Toronto, that figure will exceed 60%.

Grateful Patient Program Honours Health Care Heroes

What Keeps You Up at Night?

This session will introduce you to a new program launched by a medium sized hospital in New Brunswick as an alternative to patient mailings. New Brunswick is one of several provinces across Canada that do not have access to patient names. This program provides an opportunity for patients and their families to show appreciation for the outstanding care that they or a loved one has received during their hospital visit, by making a donation in their health care hero’s honour. Those recognized are informed by the foundation of the gift that was made in their honour and presented with a special “HERO” pin and certificate which has not only boosted donations but staff morale as well! This program works for hospitals of all sizes. This session will provide details of how to get a similar program started at your health care facility.

Military Museum: Discover the victories, tragedies and sacrifices of the Canadian Forces. Interactive displays and artifacts offer a glimpse of our military past and present. Experience life at the helm in a Second World War wheelhouse, walk through a First World War trench and witness a bomber squadron’s mission over enemy territory. Philharmonic Orchestra: Led by internationally renowned Music Director Roberto Minczuk, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra has been a cornerstone of Calgary’s multi-faceted arts community since 1955 and is one of North America’s finest and most versatile live music ensembles.

Art Central: A hub of visual art and culture, featuring more than 50 shops, galleries and artist studios together under one roof. This downtown venue serves double duty as a vibrant artistic gathering place and a one-of-a-kind shopping destination. Art Gallery of Calgary: Engage your inner artist with a visit to the Art Gallery of Calgary. This public gallery celebrates contemporary art in all its glory, offering cycles of innovative and cutting-edge exhibitions each year. Calgary Opera: One of Canada’s most innovative professional opera companies, presenting three main stage productions every year. Each season, Calgary Opera presents three full-scale operas, from traditional masterpieces to world premieres.

Shopping Calgary has a number of indoor shopping malls that qualify as destinations unto themselves. Find everything on your shopping list in the hundreds of name-brand stores at Chinook Centre, Market Mall or the new CrossIron Mills. Try one of Calgary’s farmers markets or independent shops for unique gifts.

Night Life Calgary’s nightlife heats up after sundown. Clubs, lounges and great restaurants of all sorts are dotted around the Downtown, Beltline and Uptown 17 Avenue districts.

Family Fun Looking for fun activities for mom, dad and the kids? Calgary has one of the youngest populations in the country, and where there are kids, there are things for kids to do. Fun things. Stalk life-sized dinosaurs at the Calgary Zoo or see the Rockies upside down aboard Calaway Park’s Vortex roller coaster—these and other family bonding experiences are Calgary’s bread and butter.
