The 2018 Value Analysis Canada (VAC) Symposium is just around the corner. On October 17-19, 2018, value practitioners, consultants, product developers, and business and political leaders from across the country and the world will come together in Edmonton, Alberta for this year’s Symposium, themed “Value in the West”.
