About The Event

This April, AMM is exploring Legacy That Lasts at our annual Spring Convention. As we move toward a time of transition, AMM sets to inspire our provincial leaders to continue forward-thinking by taking action today that will make change for the future.

Throughout the event at Brandon’s Keystone Centre, delegates will be moved by world-class keynote speakers and experience opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the province. The Trade Show will feature engaging Exhibitors, businesses and organizations who can help support your work! There will also be time for professional development, networking and breakout sessions.

The AMM is READY. We are ready to serve our members, ready to engage with communities, ready to collaborate with partners, and ready to move Manitoba forward. We look forward to gathering together!
