Fredericton, New Brunswick
Message from the Chair
As your chair for the 2026 edition of the CPPC Forum, I’m delighted to extend an invitation to this event, which is being held in New Brunswick for the very first time!
This forum is your chance to connect with fellow public procurement enthusiasts from all over Canada. Whether you’re part of the government or the broader public sector, this event offers a welcoming space to expand your knowledge and network with peers who are just as passionate about public procurement as you are.
The Canadian Public Procurement Council (CPPC), renowned as a leading resource for public procurement in Canada, will once again be crafting an exceptional program just for us. Under the theme “Change: Unlocking New Opportunities,” we will delve into how public procurement is evolving to meet current challenges and changing realities. This is your opportunity to be at the forefront of new trends and innovative practices.
As John F. Kennedy wisely noted, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” This gathering is your chance to be part of the future-making of public procurement.
I can’t wait for you to experience the warmth of maritime hospitality in New Brunswick’s capital city and be part of this vibrant exchange of ideas. See you in Fredericton in May 2026!
Warmest regards,
Anick Cormier, Chair, CPPC Forum 2026
