AIPC is pleased to share the latest insights from Destination Canada’s Legacy & Impact Study, including a powerful new case study on the 2018 IPCC Cities and Climate Change Science Conference held in Edmonton.
This landmark event catalyzed major shifts in urban sustainability, leading to the Edmonton Declaration, adopted by over 1,800 cities globally. It also drove climate policy reform, citizen engagement, and long-term infrastructure change. The study highlights how events, when designed with purpose, can leave a measurable, lasting legacy well beyond tourism.
The newly released Year 2 Insights Report expands on these findings, confirming how business events drive innovation, investment, collaboration, and impact across sectors.
These resources are essential reading for venue leaders, planners, and policymakers committed to shaping the future through intentional events.
