Why Attend?

Convention is your opportunity to learn, connect, and advocate. Help shape municipal policy, develop your leadership skills through targeted education sessions, and build relationships with colleagues, government officials, and community leaders from across the province.

Shape Policy

Convention is an opportunity to influence policy, both locally and provincially. Shape SUMA’s policy direction through resolutions, sector meetings, and the new Dialogue with SUMA sessions. The annual bear pit and dialogue with ministers sessions provides delegates with the opportunity to put their municipal issues before the provincial government, as well as the media.
Networking 

There are plenty of people to meet and plenty of opportunities to network. Gain a fresh new focus as you connect with colleagues, peers, SUMA Board and staff members at the SUMA Convention during the President’s Gala and Awards Ceremony, sessions, at breaks, and in your sector meeting.
Municipal Marketplace, presented by Kinetic GPO

One of the largest of its kind in Canada, SUMA’s tradeshow features booths with products and services that municipalities use each day. 

The tradeshow opens on Sunday evening for an early access reception, and closes on Tuesday morning.
