Why Attend

Why Attend

The MISA Prairies’ Annual Conference and Trade Show is the “can’t miss” municipal networking event in the prairie provinces. The 2025 Annual Conference and Trade Show will mark the return of your event favorites like pre-conference workshops, CIO panels, Roundtable discussions, and the popular event-opening walking reception.


As in past years, the standard conference offerings will continue to be top-notch. Municipal technology usage continues to grow and municipal I.T. staff are expected to adapt and create efficiencies, all while budget challenges are ever-present. Join us as we learn and discuss these challenges and create collaborative strategies to help guide our way to successful outcomes.


MISA Prairies welcomes members from the municipal sector, as well as IT & Communications organizations from across North America. We offer a variety of forums that encourage networking and business development, including large conferences, regional workshops, professional development training, and social events. MISA was founded on the concepts of sharing best practices, collaboration among peers, and volunteerism. These attributes remain fundamental to who we are and how we operate. Our chapters across Canada work closely together and guide the evolution of our national body, MISA/ASIM Canada.

And did we mention the 2025 MISA Prairies Annual Conference and Trade Show is being hosted in beautiful Lake Louise, Alberta. This destination offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventures. The turquoise waters of Lake Louise, surrounded by the towering majestic mountains and ancient glaciers, creates a postcard-perfect scene. The 2025 MISA Prairies Annual Conference and Trade Show promises to be an unforgettable experience full of lasting memories! Registration opens December 15, 2024.
