Highlights

From May 23–25, 2025, we came together in Calgary, Alberta—the Stampede City—for the 2025 CAFCN Annual Conference.

This year’s event was a resounding success, attracting over 270 participants both in person and online—our highest turnout to date and a milestone that easily surpassed last year’s record!

The plenary sessions held on Saturday and Sunday were conducted in the Mayfair/Belaire Room at the Westin Calgary, which was filled to capacity.

A Warm Welcome
