CFR REGTalks Series
While getting together for the 2020 CFR Regulatory Conference won’t be possible this year, the CFR is deconstructing our conference programme and exploring a broad range of new topics to bring you the new REGTalks Series. This is a virtual learning series designed to keep you informed on the latest happenings and lessons learned in the regulatory world. It will feature both Canadian and international content — and will be your way to explore new and alternative ways of working!
