EI Canada is holding its 2020 Perfect Vision conference in Banff, Alta., at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, June 3-5, with over 400 senior financial executives expected to attend. So, it is not surprising, given the venue’s location less than two hours west from the energy capital of Calgary, that a significant and timely part of the planned agenda covers resources, Indigenous relations and sustainable finance.
Here are the highlights: • Keynote speech on the “Economics surrounding the energy industry in Western Canada” by veteran energy executive and founder, Viewpoint Group, Mac Van Wielingen; • Keynote speech on “Climate change, carbon politics and the future of fossil fuels” by author/ writer, energy policy analyst and oil service executive advisor David Yager; 22
