Alberta’s resource sector is increasingly defined by its ability to evolve—and environmental innovation is at the heart of that transformation. Join us at the 2025 Environmental Forum to explore the policies, technologies, and projects that are shaping Alberta’s sustainable future. From data centers and AI energy demands to landfill mining for sustainable aviation fuel, this half-day event offers a deep dive into the cutting edge of environmental infrastructure.
This year’s theme, “Powering Alberta: Innovation & Infrastructure,” explores the critical intersection of environmental stewardship and economic opportunity. You'll hear from leaders across energy, law, and government about what’s next for Alberta’s infrastructure and environmental policy.
Whether you’re a regulator, industry leader, service provider, or policy expert, this is your opportunity to connect with decision-makers and contribute to a forum built on forward thinking.
