What is the Canada Assembly & Dinner?
Canada Assembly is a half-day packed with post COVID-19 trends, energy transition, D&I and capital raising discussions – the biggest trends driving the Canadian energy industry today. With many companies losing business and worried about balance sheets, finding what makes you stand out is key. Is it ESG practices that help save money long-term? Is it technology adoption? Or is it finding the best creative way to work with investors?
