Infrastructure BC will host the first-ever Canadian Collaborative Contracts Conference from April 28–29, 2026, at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler in Whistler, British Columbia.

The inaugural conference will convene leaders from across the public and private sectors, including procurement professionals, market experts, and project managers, to advance collaboration in the planning, procurement, and delivery of public infrastructure projects.

“We are proud to host this gathering of experts and practitioners who are committed to building better partnerships and better projects throughout British Columbia and across the country. As we continue to refine the conference agenda, we are grateful to have secured Dr. Pat Gallagher as our closing address speaker. Dr. Gallagher’s willingness to share his experience and leadership will bring the conference to a thoughtful and inspiring conclusion,” said Mark Liedemann, Infrastructure BC president and CEO.

The three-day conference will host a separate workshop on April 27, 2026, followed by two days of feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions designed to share expertise, strengthen partnerships, and chart the future of collaborative contracting in Canada. Delegates will include procurement professionals, government representatives, industry leaders, and project managers from across the country.

“The level of interest we have seen leading up to registration opening has been extremely encouraging. It reflects the growing importance of collaborative contracting in Canada and reinforces the value of this conference as a national forum for knowledge sharing and leadership,” stated Jeff Good, Infrastructure BC vice president, Alliance and Stakeholder Relations.

Workshop and Conference-only registration will be released later in December 2025.
