Set for March 11 to 14, the 2025 Canadian Construction Association (CCA) Annual Conference will bring some 500 construction professionals to Quebec City for an exceptional line-up of speakers, engaging breakouts, and valuable networking opportunities, all within the intimate setting of the historic Fairmont Château Frontenac.
The event kicks off on the 1th with an opening keynote featuring freelance political journalist Chantal Hébert, whose “Charting the future: Canadian politics in transition” presentation promises to be lively as timing will see a new Liberal Party leader be announced just days before she takes the stage – just one of several topics she will explore as she shares her expert insights into Canada’s evolving political landscape.
Among the key sessions on the Wednesday will be the CEO power lunch, as Patrick Lamarre, president of Kiewit Canada Group Inc., and Heather Masterson, president and CEO of Travelers Canada, join CCA president Rodrigue Gilbert for an exploration of emerging business trends and growth opportunities in a rapidly changing market.
Paul Smetanin, president of the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis, will follow that with a presentation delving into how politicalization, questionable leadership and the misuse of resources has exposed the construction industry to significant risks.
And back for another year, but always a favourite program, is the Innovator’s Pitch: CONtact Mentorship. Sponsored by Pomerleau, five new innovators will be vying to be voted the most promising innovation this year, with live voting from the convention floor.
In addition to the conference, the CCA event will play host to a number of pre-conference business meetings. The National Advisory Council meetings and the CCA Annual General Meeting are open to delegates who have pre-registered, although voting at the AGM is only open to CCA members.
