Why is UCalgary hosting?

C2UExpo directly supports UCalgary's Ahead of Tomorrow priority, locate community at the centre of all we do.

This priority emphasizes that surpassing tomorrow demands a deep connection to place, the multiple communities of Treaty 7, the City of Calgary, the country of Canada, and the world beyond tomorrow.

Community partnership means strengthening our connections to these interwoven spheres, to their many shared concerns, challenges and opportunities.  We must be poised to perform on the global stage.
