2027 SHARE Investor Summit

Wednesday, March 10 – Thursday, March 11

The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver

Authentic Intelligence.

Insightful speakers and a timely agenda are hallmarks of any good conference. But the real value comes from the people in the room.

The SHARE Investor Summit brings together trustees, investment committee members and staff from pension funds, Indigenous trusts, foundations, endowments and religious investors, alongside asset managers. It’s a unique community of investors with different mandates, connected by a shared commitment to thoughtful investment decision-making.

Through candid discussions and hands-on workshops, participants will explore how a changing world affects investment portfolios — from the growing role of artificial intelligence in markets to geopolitical tensions and extreme weather. We’ll examine the responsible investment tools investors can use to understand and manage these risks, fulfil their fiduciary responsibilities and advance the purposes and priorities of the organizations they serve.

Any conference can help you grow your professional network. Attending the SHARE Investor Summit will help you build a community.

Join us in Vancouver in March 2027 for Canada’s premier responsible investment conference.

Summit Agenda

March 10-11

This year, our agenda will feature more time to identify and workshop solutions to help responsible investors respond to key challenges facing their portfolios. We will also improve networking opportunities to make it easier for participants to leave the Summit with new connections.

Here are some of the topics you will find on the Summit agenda in 2027:

  • Unpacking AI risk across your portfolio and the economy: Avenues for investor action
  • Extreme weather events and physical climate risks: The future is now
  • Do responsible investment approaches need rightsizing in 2027? A look at climate and defence
  • Sticking to the plan or pivoting: What is the way forward when companies backtrack in shareholder engagements?
  • System-level investing: Which issues, whose role, what impact?
  • Economic Update with Jim Stanford
  • Three changes in the world of proxy voting – and how it’s impacting how you vote
  • A Canadian take on inequality: How are Canadian investors exposed and where do they have leverage?
  • Maintaining the sustainability agenda in Canadian policy and regulation

(Check back regularly for agenda developments. The agenda is provisional and subject to change. Changes can occur up to the event.)

Education Day

March 9

Are you interested in starting your Summit experience with a day of targeted learning? Join one of our two full-day sessions.

Indigenous investors and staff can sign up for the Indigenous Investor Day. Registration is free.

Board members and staff who oversee responsible investment at pension funds, universities, foundations or religious investors can join the Responsible Investment Leadership Seminar.

Responsible Investment Leadership Seminar

The Responsible Investment Leadership Seminar delivers a day of learning centred around the experience of board members at asset owner organizations. The Seminar is designed for experienced trustees, investment committee members and staff who oversee responsible investment at pension funds, universities, foundations and religious investors.

This year's edition will touch on how responsible investment policies and governance can adapt to the challenges of the moment, including the growing impacts of extreme weather events and the rise of artificial intelligence. 

Note: this session is open to asset owners only. There is a registration fee to attend the event.

Indigenous Investor Day

Indigenous Investor Day (IID) is a dedicated space for Indigenous investors to gather, learn and grow their knowledge and capacity to responsibly steward community capital in a good way for the next seven generations. 

This year’s agenda includes sessions dedicated to trust governance, asset mix considerations, triple materiality and responsible investment, as well as interactive roundtable discussions and knowledge sharing with experienced trustees and issue experts.

Indigenous Investor Day is delivered by the Reconciliation and Responsible Investment Institute (RRII) in partnership with SHARE and the National Aboriginal Trust Officers Association (NATOA). IID registration is free for Indigenous trustees, investment committee members, administrators and other community leadership and staff members with a responsibility for overseeing Indigenous trusts, endowments or other financial capital.
