• 2025 ANNUAL FALL DINNER: Higher Learning, Stronger Economy: Shaping Tomorrow Together

    Halifax Convention Centre Nova Scotia, Canada

    Higher Learning, Stronger Economy: Shaping Tomorrow Together Expectations have changed for post-secondary institutions over the last few decades. They are more than the classroom, more than institutions of learning – they are building our next generation of business owners and community leaders. Universities go beyond preparing their grads for the workforce by driving important economic and social change for our region’s growth and prosperity. Join us at the Halifax Chamber’s annual Fall Dinner to hear from a few of our world-class universities on their big ideas for big impact: international students staying in the province and pursuing entrepreneurship, researching and creating strong communities, and developing healthcare solutions at home. Hear from the presidents of Mount Saint Vincent University, Dalhousie University, and Saint Mary’s University, paired with alumni stories of economic impact and growth.
