2024 APEGA Annual Report

APEGA Nexus

Our annual professional development conference on June 5 and 6 featured 25 sessions and three keynote speakers, covering themes from regulatory updates and technical insights to soft-skill development and mental health awareness.

By fully embracing the reach of online conference technology, APEGA has minimized geographical barriers and maximized conference value. The flexibility of a virtual format enabled us to attract a broader range of high-calibre speakers while increasing overall attendance. • Virtual conferences are a more efficient use of APEGA’s financial resources. • Registrants benefit from informative and inspiring presentations without having to worry about travel and accommodation costs. Keynote presentations We welcomed guests who challenged our thinking about a wide range of engaging issues. Conference participants reported a 92 per cent overall satisfaction rate for our keynote speakers. • Dr. Michio Kaku , a distinguished figure in theoretical physics, expanded our perspective of future possibilities and challenged us to think beyond conventional boundaries and redefine what’s possible. • Sheila Watt-Cloutier, OC , a pioneer in climate policy, human rights, and Indigenous advocacy, urged us to consider the broader societal and environmental effects of our work and our responsibility to create a more equitable and sustainable world. • Dr. Dan Riskin , biologist, science journalist, and author, helped us understand how the milestones that emerge from evolution can guide us in our use of artificial intelligence.
