About the AGM & Conference

Our annual Conference brings together tourism professionals and businesses from across the territory and throughout Canada. This year, we’re excited to once again provide a dynamic forum where sponsors and industry members can connect, collaborate, and engage in a three-day program featuring workshops, seminars, professional development sessions, and inspiring keynote speakers.

We are pleased to welcome an exceptional lineup of speakers and workshop facilitators, along with ample opportunities for operators, sponsors, guests, and NWTT staff and Board members to build meaningful connections. Throughout the conference, we will showcase marketing initiatives from our domestic and international campaigns, while also providing updates on our ongoing efforts to strengthen awareness of the Northwest Territories. Attendees will gain valuable insights into key primary and secondary markets—and, importantly, where the greatest opportunities exist to attract visitors.
