ECO IMPACT 2027
February 24, 2027 - February 25, 2027
ECO IMPACT returns to Calgary on February 24 and 25, 2027, marking 10 years of bringing together the people building Canada’s environmental workforce.
As demand for environmental talent grows, organizations across the country are dealing with labour shortages, skills gaps, retention pressures, and changing workforce needs. ECO IMPACT 2027 is where employers, policymakers, educators, Indigenous leaders, innovators, and workforce practitioners come together to find practical solutions.
Over two days, attendees can choose from four focused conference streams:
- Workforce Transformation: talent pipelines, retention, and inclusive growth
- Skills and Workforce Readiness: planning, training, and capacity building
- Innovation Stage: fast-paced 10-minute talks on real solutions and practical impact
- Auditing: ESG reporting, compliance, and environmental accountability
The program also includes speed mentorship, networking with leaders across industry, government, and education, and the ECO IMPACT Awards Gala. The gala recognizes organizations and individuals making meaningful contributions to environmental workforce development, sustainability, and innovation.
Who should attend: Senior environmental employers and industry executives, policymakers and regulators, Indigenous leaders and organizations, educators and workforce development experts, funders, and environmental professionals at every career stage.
Registration: Early bird pricing saves $150 for a limited time until December 30, 2026. Discounted rates are available for students and EP® members, and attendees can get discounted hotel rates at the Hyatt Regency Calgary.
ECO IMPACT 2027 is presented by ECO Canada, with Magnet as Official Event Partner. Funded in part by the Government of Canada.
