Together, we can build a more united, innovative, and prosperous Canada for all those who live here.
Banff Forum XXII (Banff, AB)
The Banff Forum is one of Canada’s preeminent public policy forums. Each year we convene a national forum that brings together leaders from across Canada and leading thinkers from around the world to share their knowledge, enhance their leadership skills, build national networks, and discuss and debate the most pressing issues facing Canada today.
The Forum
The 24th annual Banff Forum will be held October 16-18, 2024 in Quebec City, QC. This special event will be an extraordinary meeting point for Canadian leaders.
Code of Conduct
The Banff Forum is dedicated to fostering safe and inclusive spaces for everyone. We recognize and encourage the expression of a diversity of views and opinions, but expect them to be shared respectfully.
Regional Events
In addition to the annual Banff Forum, we host year-round City Events in different regions across the country.
Reconciliation
The Banff Forum recognizes that acknowledging, understanding, and confronting Canada’s troubling record of wrongs towards Indigenous peoples is essential in order to move towards reconciliation.
Community Hub
Past/current Banffers are invited to share their updates, suggestions, ideas, and accomplishments through our community page.
Our Impact
Our objective is to advance education and provide opportunities for emerging leaders to enhance their leadership skills, build national networks, and learn about challenges and opportunities in other regions and sectors.
“Being with people who were passionate about policy and Canada was transformative. I came away with a deeper appreciation for issues that I don’t usually tackle during my day to day and a sense of a wider community and being part of a group of people who want to do better. It was a great experience.” — 2024 Participant
The Banff Forum is an inspiring weekend to consider issues from bold and different perspectives.
