Universities should be taking a leading role in guiding the profession and business community. One of MacEwan's main strategic directions is having strong community engagement. Connecting to Tomorrow focuses engagement in the field of accounting and finance in a way that enhances teaching, research, the profession and the business community.

Discuss the future of the profession to understand what challenges and opportunities that each stakeholder is facing
Networking and creating new relationships that would benefit all participants
Exposing the academic community to real business problems so that our faculty can provide effective solutions.
