Organized by: Alberta Employment First Network

AEFN's annual conference examining equitable employment and recruitment strategies for people with disabilities within Alberta during DEAM!

As workforce pressures continue to grow across sectors, organizations are looking for sustainable ways to attract, retain, and support talent. Inclusive hiring is increasingly recognized as a key driver of workforce stability and organizational strength — not only expanding access to skilled talent, but improving retention, team performance, and long-term business resilience.

We are thrilled to announce three of our guest speakers:

Zachary Weeks willl be joining us as this year's event MC
Marco Pasqua will be this year's opening keynote speaker
Erin Davis will be this year's closing keynote speaker

This year’s programming also comes at a pivotal time, with significant changes to disability supports underway. Understanding these shifts, and how they intersect with employment practices, will be essential for organizations planning for the future of their workforce.
