About Us
The i3 Governance Foundation is a Canadian not-for-profit committed to helping municipalities thrive around the globe. While our flagship event, i3 Conference, is where global leaders gather to share ideas and solutions, our work goes far beyond a single event.
Through year-round initiatives, we provide municipalities and their leaders with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed. Whether it’s through specialized training programs, professional development opportunities, scholarships, recognition awards, or peer-to-peer networking, we create dozens of pathways for local governments to grow their capabilities, strengthen governance, and deliver better outcomes for their communities.
