Events

Convening the Industry.

For more than four decades, E2 has taken its responsibility to the residential development industry seriously. Beyond the projects we govern and the guidelines we write, we have consistently participated in and supported the professional associations that serve our sector.

Because E2 operates within the development system — working alongside clients and industry partners — we see firsthand how collaboration and open discussion improve outcomes. Our events program reflects that responsibility. Through a series of gatherings throughout the year, we create opportunities for our industry peers to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, share innovations, and strengthen the relationships that support better-performing communities.

Our Events Program

Five Events. Year-Round Connection.

E2 Development Forum

Annual / Calgary Studio / Summer

Our annual summer gathering and the centrepiece of our events program.

Held at the E2 Calgary studio, the Forum brings together builders, developers, consultants, and advisors from across our ecosystem to discuss the issues shaping residential development. Structured around small roundtables and working sessions, the Forum is intentionally peer-led. While E2 hosts the event and contributes selected discussions, most sessions are organised and facilitated by our clients and industry partners. The result is a practical and collaborative exchange of ideas around approvals, real estate dynamics, development strategy, product evolution, marketing, and other issues affecting the industry.

The Forum serves as a midpoint in the year — an opportunity to step back from active projects, engage with peers, and collectively explore how our industry can continue to improve.

Format: Small roundtables and working sessions. Peer-led. E2 provides the venue, structure, and facilitation. Invitation-based with open registration.

E2 Development Forum — 2026 date to be confirmed. Registration link to be added.

Industry Roundtables

Small Group Sessions / Ongoing

Smaller working discussions on specific development issues.

Our Roundtable Conversations are smaller working discussions that bring together select groups of builders, consultants, and advisors to examine specific issues affecting active projects and the broader development ecosystem. Roundtables are ongoing and are often organised around specific stakeholder groups or development topics.

These Sessions Provide Space For:

  • • Candid discussion of approvals and governance processes
  • • Shared experience between industry peers
  • • Collaborative problem-solving
  • • Identification of opportunities to improve the performance of the development system

Lunch + Learns

E2 Studio / Ongoing

Informal gatherings for alignment and collaboration.

Our Lunch + Learn sessions provide a more informal environment for alignment and collaboration among the many teams involved in the communities we support. These gatherings allow builders, consultants, and stakeholders to share knowledge, review evolving practices, and strengthen the relationships that support efficient project delivery.

Topics Include:

  • • Approvals coordination
  • • Architectural control processes
  • • Design and product trends
  • • Operational improvements in subdivision delivery

Industry Engagement + Sponsorship

E2 participates in and supports the professional associations, industry bodies, and collaborative forums that serve the residential development sector. We believe strong communities are not built by individual organisations alone — they are the result of an industry working together.

Sponsorship with E2 connects partners with the builders, developers, consultants, and advisors who collectively shape communities across Western Canada.
