Building on the success of the 2015 conference (see the 2015 Conference Report here), CAIDP and CCIC will be holding back-to-back events the week of May 9 in Ottawa. As always, CAIDP is committed to bringing you a conference focused on the topics you want to discuss and features impressive speakers, hands-on training, keynote lunches and ample networking opportunities. 
 
Is a new era dawning? Do we collectively have the skills and tools to meet the challenges of a new and integrated development agenda? Our conference will address issues in the global context and their implications on Canadian development professionals. The conference offers Canadian development professionals the practical information, advice and connections they need to succeed in these changing times.
 
This year's conference will feature three key streams:
1) The SDGs - Looking at the economic, social and environmental aspects
2) Skills and Tools - Sessions to help you grow professionally, including networking, performance measurement, and security
3) Partnering and Financing - How to work effectively and better market your services to Multilateral Development Banks (those leading the work on financing for development), the Department of Global Affairs Canada (formerly DFATD), and others
