The event will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at the Saint John Trade and Convention Centre.

• Provide progress updates from the advanced SMR cluster
• Promote discussion and networking opportunities
• Educate participants of opportunities, timelines and vision
• Provide a forum for interactive breakout sessions dedicated to:
  • “Fit for SMR”
  • Industry Support
  • Indigenous Partnerships

The daylong event will begin at 9am and will close with a reception from 4pm – 5pm. Doors open at 8:30am for registration.

The event will be co-hosted by CME and FNPA to maximize efforts in connecting with the Indigenous, manufacturing and business communities, with a significant contribution provided by Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB).
