CIP and the Alberta Professional Planners Institute (APPI) will host “CONNECTION” in Edmonton, Alberta.
Pre-Registration Now Open
This year, CIP is pleased to offer advance conference invoicing.
With the financial year-end coming up for many municipalities and employers, options are available for pre-registration and payment for the CIP/APPI national conference.
Past Conferences
Previous events have taken place across the country. Our past themes have reflected big ideas and timely conversations that affect planners and the communities they live and work in.
Inclusion Fund
In support of our Strategic Plan priority of More Equitable Planning, Together, CIP has established a fund to help include more individuals who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a CIP national conference.
In 2023, we supported 15 individuals (members and non-members) and we look forward to offering the program in 2024.
Applications are now open.
