Atlantic Asset Management Conference 2026

By AIM Network

Somewhere in Atlantic Canada, someone has already solved your problem. Connect with them.

Atlantic Canadian municipalities are pulled in every direction right now with climate adaptation, housing-driven growth, digital transformation, federal program deadlines. There's always something urgent demanding attention. In the middle of all the competing priorities, it is easy to lose sight of the basics:

What does your community actually need? What puts those services at risk? What does it really cost to keep the lights on, the water flowing, and the roads passable; not just this year, but twenty years from now?

These aren't new questions but they're the ones that will make your decisions clearer and easier to explain. They are also much harder to answer when we work in isolation.

The AIM Network Annual Conference is where we come back to what matters together. This year, we're bringing asset managers and planners into shared conversations. Our focus is creating networks and connections to help make your job easier, more efficient and more effective. You'll connect and share information and strategies with public works directors, town managers, engineers, elected officials, and planners from across Atlantic Canada who are wrestling with the same hard choices you are.

Why attend?

• Senator Dawn Arnold as keynote speaker. Former Mayor of Moncton and a clear-eyed voice on sustainable community leadership. She knows this work from the inside.
• Real conversations. Interactive sessions, panels with municipal staff and elected officials, roundtables designed for honest exchange of ideas. Check out our program here: Conference Program.
• A preconference workshop on August 19 for those who want to build real solutions for real problems in a collaborative session before the main program kicks off.
• Peers who get it. The people in the room are your peers. They're living the same budget pressures, the same council dynamics, the same infrastructure gaps. That's where the good conversations happen.
