The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the Mari-Tech Conference and the Marine Procurement Outlook in April 2020. As a result, PSPC will be hosting a virtual Outlook via MS Teams on Friday, December 4^th from 12:30EST – 15:30EST. PSPC, along with partner departments Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Department of National Defence (DND), and Transport Canada, will be presenting on upcoming contracting opportunities as well as address the priorities and challenges for the marine industry resulting from the impact of COVID-19. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.  

If you would like to pre-register for the event, please indicate so by email confirming your interest to Julia McDonald at [email protected].

Please note that the session is limited to 300 participants due to the technical limitations of the platform, as such we will be operating on a “first come, first serve basis” without any consideration for preferences. An official announcement of the event including the meeting link will be posted on BuyandSell.com.

We hope you can join us for this virtual event and look forward to your participation.
