 | |  | Virtual Registrant Forum Brings Answers Into Focus Registrants brought their top-of-mind questions to the Virtual Registrant Forum on March 4, where APEGA leaders shared answers and updates about the regulation of engineering and geoscience in Alberta. More than 90 per cent of attendees found the information provided by the forum panel useful, according to the post-event survey, and many valued the opportunity to hear directly from leadership, especially about regulatory requirements and changes, registration, and policies. | | BRANCH EVENTS
| | Webinar | Human-Centered Leadership in Engineering 4/22/2026 7:00 p.m. This interactive session introduces a human-centered perspective on leadership grounded in the Catalyst Blueprint, a framework developed from lived engineering and project leadership experience. Join the Fort McMurray Branch for this event. Webinar | Quality Is Not a Final Check 5/5/2026 12:00 p.m. Quality is not something inspected at the end of a job—it is shaped by decisions made throughout the project lifecycle. This webinar explores how early planning, accountability, and risk management influence engineering outcomes. Join the Edmonton Branch for this event. Webinar | Engineering Judgement in Isolation Planning 5/12/2026 12:00 p.m. Single-block isolations are common requests in oil and gas operations, but they can carry real risk. This practical, one-hour webinar will give engineers a clear lens on how to approach the review of an alternative isolation plan. Join the Peace Region Branch for this event. | | APEGA EVENTS
