Annual Forecast Dinner

Each year, the Annual Forecast Dinner brings together investment professionals from across Atlantic Canada for an evening of market insight and good company. A keynote speaker shares their outlook for the year ahead, members put their own forecasts on the record, and the Society recognizes the people whose contributions make this community work.

The evening is home to three member traditions: the Forecaster of the Year, My One Stock Pick, and the Terry Milne Volunteer Award.

Details and registration for the next dinner are posted on the Upcoming Events page
