What happens when the cost of yesterday’s promises collides with today’s climate, housing, and budget crises?

Across Atlantic Canada, municipalities are facing a hard truth: aging infrastructure is outpacing our ability to renew it, service expectations are climbing, and climate volatility is rewriting the rules. The decisions we make now will shape what our communities can sustain—or not—for generations.

The AIM Network Annual Conference is where those choices get real. This isn’t just another networking event. It’s a call to action for municipal leaders, staff, elected officials, and partners who are ready to engage with uncomfortable realities and bold solutions. You'll join peers who are grappling with the same limits you are—on budgets, on capacity, and on public trust. You will hear from practitioners and thought leaders who are rethinking how we govern for the long term.

Whether you're wrestling with how to fund essential services, manage growth pressures, or plan for infrastructure under climate stress, this is your space to get grounded, inspired, and equipped.

Because business-as-usual is no longer an option.

Why attend?

• Real conversations, not sales pitches. Service providers and municipal professionals lead AIM.  We appreciate the contribution of contractors and consultants who support municipalities with asset management, but the focus of this conference is on the real conversations that help you determine the best use of your scarce resources. 
• Actionable insights. Learn how others are facing the same structural service gaps—and what’s working.
• Strategic connection. Meet peers who are building smarter, more resilient systems from the ground up.

Seats are limited. The future is coming fast. Be part of the people planning for it.
