[President]

Every year, Ingenium provides us with an opportunity to take a short break from our routine work lives and get exposed to a variety of professional and technological developments that are key to professional success. With an abundance of top-notch PD seminars to choose from, I have always left the event feeling that I missed out on so many things. However, with our new virtual format this year, those fears are laid to rest. The attendees can log in from wherever they are and set their own schedule to attend as many sessions as they please.

As usual, we have a strong line up of world class experts for Ingenium 2020. The keynote session on Monday is presented by a science journalist of international fame - Bob McDonald of CBC's Quirks and Quarks. Bob is going to talk about the challenges humankind faces today and how our professions hold the key to solving some of these problems. The talk is aptly titled - Surviving the Third Millennium. In addition, a long list of accomplished speakers will enlighten us on topics ranging from professional regulation, cutting-edge technological advancements, Indigenous technology, soft skills development, and a lot more.

On behalf of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, I would like to thank you for taking the time to better both yourself and the professions by attending. I wish you all the best in your pursuits.

A Message from the Premier

[The Honourable Brian Pallister]

On behalf of all Manitobans, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to those participating virtually in this week's Professional Development Seminars as part of Ingenium 2020. The year 2020 not only celebrates 100 years of engineering regulation and professional development in the province but also marks Manitoba's 150th anniversary.

As the regulatory body for professional engineers and geoscientists, Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba has seen the number ofpractitioners grow to over 8,500 and, as a result, the need for continuous learning and professional development becomes ever so important in order to gain new knowledge and skills in an ever-changing field. With the global pandemic still currently before us, the virtual reach of the seminar is enhanced, and I know that this conference will provide relevant and thought-provoking exchange of ideas, discussions and professional development. I congratulate not only the participants but also the keynote speakers, presenters and industry experts for sharing their knowledge, expertise and best practices with you.

I join all Manitobans in thanking Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba for planning the annual Professional Development Seminars, and wish all attendees an enjoyable and memorable week of activities.

The Honourable Brian Pallister
Premier of Manitoba
