DAMA Days Canada - Calgary Chapter

DAMA Days Canada is a collaboration between 7 Canadian DAMA Chapters in 8 cities across Canada. There will be 30+ presentations with keynotes and 3 tracks. All presentations will be recorded so you can catch up on the ones you couldn't attend. You will also recieve online access to all presentations, online networking with all attendees across Canada, and access to all the conference sponsors' digital booths.

Presentations will be Thursday and Friday from 8:00 to 4PM MT at the new Platform Calgary on 9th Ave SE in Calgary and at the SaskTel Collaboration Centre on 1825 Lorne Street in Regina.

We will have both live streamed presentations (literally from around the world) and local thought leaders in-person.

Breakfast speakers and a Thursday social after the day's ending keynote will be open to in-person registrants.

See DAMA Days Canada 2022 for more information on the great lineup of core speakers and to find the other DAMA Chapter's websites, in case you happen to be in one of those other Chapter's city during the conference.

The following schedule is still being tweaked and added to, but will only get better. Calgary In-Person speakers are indicated with an (IP). All others will be streamed in from other Canadian DAMA Chapters, and world wide locations.
