We released a new block of tickets this morning due to overwhelming demand. These are the last tickets that will be made available because of venue capacity. We encourage you to register early! We look forward to a great event.

One of the most popular topics in our industry is Bill 54, the Lobbyists Transparency Act. These pending changes will change our current government relations policies and day-to-day reporting as we know it.

Michael McEvoy, Registrar of Lobbyists for B.C., will present an update on the implementation strategy for the Act, and host a Q&A session. This is your chance to ask any questions you have on the road ahead!

Lobbyists should start to familiarize themselves now with the upcoming changes, and prepare for the new requirements. We hope to see you there!
