APPI hosts a variety of events which promote continuous professional learning, and professional and social opportunities for its members and the public at large.
Regional Event Committees provide educational, professional and social opportunities for members and to promote the planning profession within local communities. The APPI Regional Event Committees are North, Calgary, Edmonton and South. You may view our committees and their members here.
All APPI Regional Event Committees support Continuous Professional Learning and each notice indicates the learning units earned.
Complete details and registration information will be posted as speakers are confirmed.
