Half a century, thousands of forecasts, and countless conversations later, the answer has never mattered more to Canada. Join Calgary's top finance professionals and business leaders for the 50th Annual Forecast Dinner, a milestone edition of one of North America's largest and most respected gatherings for finance professionals, investors, economists, and business leaders. Hosted once again by the incomparable Dave Kelly, this landmark night celebrates five decades of homegrown forecasting excellence and asks what it will take to build, invest, and grow here in Canada. Hear forward-looking (and hilarious) perspectives from award-winning keynote speaker Rick Mercer, of   The Rick Mercer Report   and   This Hour Has 22 Minutes , and one of the country's sharpest observers of all things Canadian. Following Rick, moderator Matthew Andrade, CFA, returns to lead a powerhouse panel featuring Heather Exner-Pirot, Doug Porter, and Jessica Kennedy. Together they'll dig into Canada's economic future and what it means for the capital, industries, and people that make this country work. Fifty years of forecasts. One unmissable night. Made in Canada. Come celebrate five decades of navigating capital's next era, and where it leads us next. Secure your ticket today!
