QCIB is beyond excited to announce our incoming Co-Chairs for 2026-2027, Ben Lewandowski and Tegan Robinson! 🌎💛

We’re excited to close out QCIB 2026 with our Saturday Keynote Speaker, Scott R. McLean. This year’s keynote takes a different approach, a more reflective, motivational-style address focused on leadership, growth, and long-term career perspective.

Scott brings decades of experience working alongside business owners and executive teams, advising on organizational growth, leadership development, and navigating moments of transition. From leading national teams at Invesco Canada to advising organizations on talent and strategy today, his career has been defined by building strong leaders and resilient businesses.

This keynote is designed to be less about frameworks and more about perspective, an opportunity to step back, reflect, and leave the conference with insights that extend beyond the weekend.

We couldn’t think of a better way to close out QCIB 2026.

🚨 QCIB 2026 Sponsor Reveal 🚨

We’re incredibly excited to share the sponsor lineup powering QCIB 2026. This year, 25 amazing partners are helping bring every part of the conference to life, from networking sessions and office tours to case competitions, and in-kind experiences throughout the weekend.

These firms are giving our delegates the chance to meet recruiters and industry leaders, build meaningful connections, and engage with hands-on experiences and materials they won’t find anywhere else. It’s the kind of access and energy that makes QCIB what it is.

We’re so grateful for the support behind this year’s conference and can’t wait to see everything come together. 💙💛

This year’s Friday panel is stacked.

We’re bringing together an exceptional group of senior leaders, people who have built, led, and shaped organizations at the highest levels.

Featuring:
• Andrew Leutchford (Deloitte)
• Jennifer Warren (Wilmington Trust)
• Shawn Sigesmund (EY)
• Tanya Pratt (Oracle)
• Andrew Miller (RBC Capital Markets)

This lineup brings decades of experience and unfiltered perspectives. We have a lot to learn from these folks!

🚨 SPEAKER REVEAL 🚨

We’re excited to officially announce our first speaker kicking off QCIB 2026, Craig Noble, Managing Partner & Chief Executive Officer, Credit at Brookfield.

Since joining Brookfield in 2004, Craig has held senior leadership roles across both private and public markets, including most recently serving as CEO of Alternative Investments. His experience spans credit, infrastructure, and public securities, and he currently oversees Brookfield’s global credit platform and sits on the firm’s Executive Committee. Prior to Brookfield, Craig spent five years at Bank of Montreal focused on corporate lending and corporate finance.

Craig holds an MBA from York University, a Bachelor of Commerce from Mount Allison University, and is a CFA charterholder, bringing a rare depth of perspective across investing, leadership, and global markets.

We couldn’t imagine a stronger voice to kick off QCIB 2026.

Stay tuned for more speaker reveals, sponsor announcements, and conference details coming soon 👀

If Preview was just the warm-up… the January conference is going to be unreal 🔥

QCIB Preview exceeded every expectation thanks to our incredible group of delegates who showed up with unmatched energy, curiosity, and genuine enthusiasm. You created such a dynamic environment and made this kickoff event a blast from start to finish.

Applications to be a delegate close in less than 3 hours, don’t miss your shot at some great networking opportunities!

QCIB creates space for delegates to have real conversations with recruiters across every sponsor firm, and those connections can lead to real job opportunities. Many of our past delegates have gone on to secure interviews, internship offers, and full-time roles because of the relationships they built at the conference.
