Upcoming Events
The annual fall conference hosted by NOVA is like no other in Canada!
Our conference celebrates connecting with colleagues and industry partners in a relaxed quiet setting, surrounded by water, pine trees, and a sky full of stars. Our guest speakers are (likewise) always stellar! September 19th – 21st, 2025.
