11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Calgary Telus Convention Centre
120 9th Avenue SE

Projects in the natural resource sector are often so large they require a number of companies to collaborate to ensure success, and the structure of these massive collaborations can be particularly important in the unique context of working with aboriginal communities.
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the actions that are critical to success, as well as the tangible dos and don’ts for how these industry collaborations should be structured, and how companies can work together to deliver the right type of benefits to the Aboriginal community they’re working with.
