‘Managing Risk: Balancing Aversion and Innovation’ is the volunteer management conference presented by AL!VE, Better Impact, and VMPC (Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada).

Now in its sixth year, this year’s topic will explore how balancing aversion and innovation to risk impacts our volunteers, programs and agencies, now and in the near and far futures. Our current streaming event will consist of four 20 minute presentations, followed by a moderated discussion with the other presenters (think TED talk meets late night tv), including responding to questions from the audience.

The broadcast will be streamed live in the United States and Canada, with the likelihood of an audience of 1000 or more. We have 12 sites in Canada, including: BC - Burnaby and Victoria, AB - Fort McMurray, SK - Saskatoon, MB - Winnipeg, ON - Barrie, Brantford, London, Ottawa and Thunder Bay, NB - Moncton, NS - Halifax. Email pd@vmpc.ca to get in touch with one of these groups. Do not proceed with individual registration.
