Edmonton Then and Now: The Leaders Who Shaped the City
Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026
11:30am to 2:00pm
15
Join BOMA Edmonton + North for a signature event bringing together four former Edmonton mayors for a candid discussion on the moments, decisions, and leadership that have defined the city.
Featuring:
- Mayor Bill Smith
- Mayor Stephen Mandel
- Mayor Don Iveson
- Mayor Amarjeet Sohi
Between them, nearly four decades of leadership, spanning periods of growth, transformation, and pivotal city-building decisions.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the leaders behind major policy, investment, and development decisions, with real perspectives on what worked, what didn’t, and what they would approach differently today.
From downtown revitalization and infrastructure to growth and the future of Edmonton, this conversation will go beyond headlines and into the decisions that shaped the city.
Moderated by Ryan Jespersen, the experience includes a pre-event networking reception, lunch, the featured conversation, and time following the program to continue discussions with peers and industry leaders.
