In 2025, co-operatives across Alberta came together to test a more coordinated approach to awareness, connection, and sector growth. The results were clear: there is real demand for the co-operative model when it is visible, relevant, and accessible. Now, the opportunity is to build on that momentum—connecting awareness to action through leadership, coordination, and shared investment.

ACCA is excited to extend a warm and enthusiastic invitation to the much-anticipated 2023 ACCA Annual Co-operative Conference, set to take place from November 6th to 8th against the vibrant backdrop of Edmonton, AB. This annual co-operative conference, known for sparking meaningful dialogues, forging connections, and kindling actionable inspiration, is poised to do so once again, all under the compelling banner of this year's theme: "It Starts with Us."
