ACG is not a typical conference.
It’s a space to deepen collaborations, reconnect with friends, forge new relationships, and see projects take shape around shared values and a commitment to collective action.
Unlike other conferences, ACG is part of the ABM community, a network that remains active and connected year-round. When the event concludes, the relationships and collaborations continue to grow through ongoing engagement and shared purpose.
Here, decision-makers don’t meet to transact, but to listen, learn, and co-create opportunities grounded in alignment with Indigenous sovereignty and the vision of a livable future for all.
