Development days
Starting with the launch of Spring Tune Up in 2011, ACFO-ACAF has established itself as the leading provider of insightful and inspiring conference- and seminar-style learning events for federal public service and NAV Canada finance and audit professionals.
Spring Tune Up
Spring Tune Up is ACFO-ACAF’s flagship professional development day, routinely attracting more than 1,000 members to hear engaging and insightful speakers and industry experts talk about the topics that matter to their career development in an evolving world.
CT Symposium
Launched in 2020, the CT Symposium has quickly become the can’t-miss fall training event for members of the CT Community and other finance and audit professionals working in the public sector. With an associated career fair and exhibit pavilion, the CT Symposium is the place to be for those looking to advance their careers in public sector finance and audit!
