Major Projects Forum 2023 Presented by KPMG

Vancouver's reputation as one of the best cities to live, work and play relies on our collective ability to develop transformative and innovative projects.

Across the province, major projects worth a record $388.6 billion are underway to bring forward unparalleled infrastructure and architecture. As the key player in the evolution of major projects across the Lower Mainland, the business community is actively responding to the infrastructure needs and redefining the future of the region.

As Greater Vancouver is poised to welcome record numbers of new residents to the region, building for growth that contributes to livable, sustainable, and prosperous communities is more important than ever.

Join us for Greater Vancouver Board of Trade's first-ever Major Projects forum for an overview of current and upcoming projects and to learn about trends in innovation, design, architecture, construction, and infrastructure.
