It’s Time to Plan for Banff!
Gathering in-person again has been great, and GFOA Alberta thanks everyone who came out ot the Conference and supported GFOA and the work we do to support our members and the municipal finance community.
The 2022 Conference had inspiring speakers, networking opportunities and relevant, timely topics that you have come to expect from GFOA.
If you missed this one, be sure to keep an eye on the website for the opening of registration for the 2023 Conference, being held in May 2023 in Banff. If you came out to Calgary, thanks again for being part of a great event, and we’re hoping to see you in Banff in May as well!
