MARCH 27-28-29, 2019 THE WESTIN, OTTAWA
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We are back in Ottawa for the 2019 Progress Summit: Federal Election Year Edition! Last year we went on the road across Canada to hear from engaged activists, key stakeholders, and local community to learn what s working in their region. So this year we re bringing it all home for our biggest and best Progress Summit to date! This coming spring we ll reconvene in Ottawa to bring together some of the world s best policy-makers, elected officials, movement- builders and thought to take our stage on the issues that will shape a progressive Canada through the 2019 Federal Election, and answer this question: How can we demand more from government, expect better of our politicians, and deliver on the democracy Canadians believe in? Progress Summit 2019 will facilitate the deep discussions we need to have in terms of building stronger communities and developing better policy ideas to create a greener, more inclusive and prosperous country. Please take a close look at the sponsorship packages we are offering. This year you can choose to sponsor as much of the programing as you would like. As well, we are making time and space available for your own hosted special events, seminars, and workshops. I hope you ll be joining us for this fantastic event. Best, Ed Broadbent Rick Smith Chair Executive Director broadbentinstitute.ca/summit2019
