Share Ideas Shaping the Future of Environmental Work

ECO IMPACT 2027 is inviting employers, innovators, educators, policymakers, Indigenous leaders, researchers, and practitioners to share practical ideas, insights, and solutions shaping Canada’s environmental workforce and green economy.

If you have a story, case study, strategy, innovation, or real-world experience that can help organizations tackle workforce challenges and sector transformation, we want to hear from you.

Join a national conversation focused on practical impact, innovation, and the future of environmental work in Canada.

Call For Speakers

We are seeking speakers who can move beyond high‑level commentary and speak directly to how workforce challenges are being addressed – or failing to be addressed – in real organizations, communities, and systems.

This is not a thought‑leadership‑only event. All contributions must be applied, evidence‑based, and decision‑oriented.

Submit your proposal via our online form. For more details and to access the submission form.

Join us in making ECO IMPACT 2027 a lively and impactful event. For more information or any inquiries, Don’t hesitate to reach out.
