Pier 21 is a National Historic Site which was the gateway to Canada for one million immigrants between 1928 and 1971.

Today, Pier 21 hosts the Canadian Museum of Immigration - Atlantic Canada's only national museum.
 
The "Historical" portion of the evening will allow you to follow in the footsteps of the 1.5 million immigrants and Canadian Military Service personnel who passed through Pier 21 between 1928 and 1971. In the Rudolph P. Bratty Exhibition Hall, exhibits will be open to provide you with the opportunity to discover our nation's rich multicultural history.

Traditionally, many 'visits' in Nova Scotia culminated with guests gathering in the kitchen of the host's home for an experience of music, fine food and good company - so get ready for some down-home Maritime hospitality!
 
Halifax is a seaport that knows how to entertain folks from out of town. And with its stunning view of the harbour, this is the perfect venue to celebrate and experience the best of Martime food, culture, and history! Wednesday evening's 'Kitchen Party' will feature spectacular food, drink and local entertainment that will be sure to keep you on the dance floor all night!
 
*Kilts are welcomed and encouraged*
"Come in, sit down and drink up, 'cause you're on the East Coast where every party is a Kitchen Party!"

4. The Late Night AM Show
And here's .........Kevin?    Join us on Tuesday afternoon for an un-typical session!  Hosted by Kevin Bainbridge and his side kick Bradley Leeman we have a great line up of guests, a Top 10 List, Bingo and the AM Jeopardy to round it all out!  An event not to be missed.

3. Remember your business cards!
Bring along plenty of business cards for networking, tradeshow and a few door prize draws. This conference provides your best opportunity to network with asset management colleagues, peers and suppliers from across Canada.
 
2. Dress for Success and Comfort
In an effort to promote an atmosphere of collegiality, we encourage all attendees to dress in comfortable, business-casual clothing. It is always a good idea to dress in layers with a jacket or sweater, as session rooms can be cool. But, we are encouraging a bit more dressed-up approach for the Gala Dinner on Wednesday - after all, we'll be celebrating the CNAM Tereo Award winner!
