| WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
The 2020 RPIC Marine Infrastructure National Workshop is a Canadian national forum focused on strengthening marine expertise and knowledge, promoting innovation and best practices, as well as providing a platform for strategic thinking and discussion on the challenges and opportunities related to these assets. Following the successes of the previous workshops (Montreal in 2014, Québec City in 2016 and Ottawa in 2018), we are pursuing our efforts to provide participants with the best content for professional development and learning in the field of marine infrastructure. The Real Property Institute of Canada (RPIC) and the Marine Infrastructure National Workshop Organizing Committee invite you to submit presentations on your involvement, your expertise and the current and future challenges do you anticipate with respect to the development and management of this type of real property. Abstracts are encouraged in, but not limited to the following topics. Presentations featuring international perspectives are encouraged across all topic areas.
