Business in Alberta

Calgary and Alberta are well positioned for the years to come but changing business environments can impact the practice of law in the province. Join us for a conversation with Deborah Yedlin, who will discuss Calgary and Alberta's economy, including what we need to maintain our competitive advantage, labour and productivity, and more.

This keynote was presented at the 2024 CBA Alberta Annual General Meeting, and is part of CBA Alberta's Alberta Lawyer Insight Series.
