October 13–14 | Vancouver, BC | 4th Year Attending

 

This is our fourth year at the conference and this year we are happy to be the official Technology Sponsor. Visit us to see how our software helps energy companies and infrastructure developers strengthen social license, streamline land access, and build lasting trust with the communities they work alongside.

 

 

Why Meet Us at the Conference?

Energy infrastructure professionals attend this conference to find smarter ways to advance community engagement and keep major projects on track. Irth brings together the capabilities needed to centralize stakeholder engagement, manage land access, and reduce the risks that delay critical infrastructure.

Strengthen Social License, Accelerate Projects, Build Community Trust

In energy infrastructure, early and consistent engagement isn't optional — it's what keeps projects moving. Borealis helps your teams

  • Centralize land access, permitting, and community engagement in one system
  • Connect every stakeholder, parcel, and permit through integrated GIS mapping
  • Capture early community sentiment to guide site selection and reduce project risk
  • Quickly build and maintain accurate stakeholder and landowner lists to accelerate land access and emergency communication
  • Streamline consultation processes required for permitting and regulatory approvals
  • Improve land-access negotiations with clear communication logs and histories
  • Respond quickly to concerns and build long-term trust with host communities

Why Meet Us at IAP2 NAC?

Public participation practitioners, consultants, and government decisionmakers attend IAP2 NAC to find better ways to build trust with communities and demonstrate accountability throughout the engagement process. Borealis software brings together the capabilities needed to make that process structured, transparent, and defensible.

Strengthen Trust, Simplify Consultation, Protect Your Record

Whether you're managing public consultation for a major project, running ongoing community engagement programs, or preparing for regulatory review, Borealis can help your teams:

  • Centralize stakeholder and public input into a single, searchable engagement history
  • Digitize consultation workflows, from notifications and comment tracking to issue resolution
  • Coordinate outreach across teams with shared visibility into who's been contacted and when
  • Quickly build and maintain accurate stakeholder lists to support notification and awareness campaigns
  • Streamline reporting required for regulatory and permitting approvals
  • Demonstrate, with clear records, how public input actually shaped project decisions
  • Reduce risk by keeping a traceable, audit-ready log of every engagement touchpoint
