Registration is now open for the 2021 AUMA Convention and Trade Show
We are excited to announce that we are returning to an in-person Convention for 2021, one that could be our biggest and best yet! Registration is now open, and we encourage you to register as soon as possible to reserve your spots. Please register early, to ensure you don’t risk the event being sold out, before you register your council.
This year’s event will be held Edmonton Convention Centre from November 17 to 19, 2021, and will have everything our members know and love, including dialogue sessions with provincial ministers, breakout education sessions, a buzzworthy trade show and plenty of time to network with your fellow leaders. Members will also be able to vote on resolutions, as well as the 2021 AUMA elections.
New in 2021
This year will also provide members with the unique opportunity to experience our new brand, which will launch during Convention’s opening ceremonies. This project has been years in the making, and we have plenty of surprises in store that you will not want to miss.
An online offering will be made available for those who do not want to attend in person. The virtual Convention will include all of the main plenary components and will allow eligible elected officials the opportunity to virtually vote on resolutions and elections. However, virtual attendees will not have the ability to attend the breakout education sessions, or be able to network in-person with other attendees.
Special virtual pricing for regular members
In order to support our members who are unable to attend due to financial constraints or health concerns, we are offering virtual registration at a discounted rate to AUMA urban municipal members who have registered for Convention.
Summer Village and Village members who register at least one (1) in-person attendee for Convention will have the option to register one attendee virtually for the reduced price of $200. For every additional participant in-person, they will have the option to register a virtual attendee at the reduced rate.
Towns, Cities and Specialized Municipality members who register five (5) in-person attendees will have the option to register one attendee virtually for the reduced price of $200. For every additional five (5), they will have the option to register a virtual attendee at the reduced rate.
*Once a municipality has registered their in-person attendees, the AUMA Registrar will reach out with a discount code for your virtual attendees.
Unsure who is attending?
We know many municipalities are eager to register but won’t know who is attending due to the upcoming municipal election. Not a problem! Administrators can register ‘Guest’ attendees and won’t be required to have a unique email address for each attendee.
Once the election is complete and you know who will be attending, you can either modify the registration on your own using the modification button on the registration website, or you can simply contact registration [at] auma.ca (registration[at]auma[dot]ca) and we would be happy to help. We do ask that you make those changes as soon as possible following the election to allow our team enough time to produce accurate name badges and set-up voting credential for eligible attendees.
Should you have any other questions along the way, please visit our Convention event page or email registration [at] auma.ca (registration[at]auma[dot]ca).
