Building Resilience – Navigating the Changing Construction Landscape – A Capital Idea

We are very pleased to present our much anticipated bi-annual Construction & Infrastructure Law Conference from October 24th – 25th, 2025 in our national capital region, Ottawa-Gatineau.

We will bring together the top legal minds in the construction industry for insightful discussions and invaluable networking opportunities, including exclusive “insider” tours and other opportunities!

The hotel and conference venue, Hilton Lac Leamy, offers an urban oasis on Lac Leamy Park while being conveniently situated near the capital city and its major landmarks.

With a theme of “Building Resilience”, this will be an unforgettable Made in Canada – For Canadians event.

This conference is likely to sell out so get your tickets now and be part of the national conversation.

We look forward to seeing you all in the Fall!
