National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Event Atlantic recognizes that the final day of the 2022 Event Summit is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

For that reason, Event Atlantic is committed to working with Indigenous partners to ensure that September 30th is honoured in the way it should be. Speakers and presentations will conclude on September 29th, and a delegate breakfast followed by recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will conclude the Summit on September 30th.
