Mount Royal University’s Institute for Community Prosperity and ATCO’s SpaceLab are excited to announce the Banff Systems Summit, taking place May 19-22 at the Banff Centre.

"Together We Shift, Together We Thrive," speaks to the collective journey toward a more regenerative, resilient tomorrow.

The Banff Systems Summit welcomes post-secondary students from across Canada, practitioner-changemakers from multiple sectors, and a select number of international participants. Over the course of four immersive days, participants will experience keynotes, plenaries, panel discussions, skills-focused workshops, walkabouts, and networking activities, all designed to foster meaningful connections and inspire innovative thinking.

This Summit creates a unique space where students, educators, practitioners, and the curious can share and learn about tools and work contributing to positive systems change. We celebrate and learn from the perspectives of students, including those participating in Map the System Canada, and offer a platform to explore real-world applications of systems thinking in addressing the complex challenges we face today—such as housing crises, political polarization, and global conflicts.

At its core, the Banff Systems Summit is about building a thriving community where individuals and resources come together not just during the event but long after. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in deep, rich, generative conversations that lead to new insights, better questions, and purposeful pathways for leadership and action.
