Fall Convention & Tradeshow

2024

About the Fall Convention

The RMA hosts two conventions per year, one in spring and one in fall, at the Edmonton Convention Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Each convention sees a variety of plenary addresses and workshops, as well as the ministerial forum and resolutions session. In addition to these events, the fall convention hosts the opposition party leader panel, as well as our RMA Board elections and partners program. Starting in Fall 2021, the RMA and Canoe Tradeshow is held during the fall convention to better serve our members as they go through the budget process within their municipalities.

The RMA 2024 Fall Convention and Tradeshow took place November 4 – 7, at the Edmonton Convention Centre.
