On Thursday, May 22, Black Diamond Group leaders and special guests gathered in Calgary, for our annual strategy conference, ONWARD: A Visionary Summit.
The summit plays a critical role in developing Black Diamond Group’s long range growth strategies against the context of the anticipated macro-economic landscape. It brings together leaders from our corporate teams and across BOXX Modular, Black Diamond Lodging and Accommodations and LodgeLink to collaborate, think big, and align on the path ahead.
“ONWARD is more than a summit – it’s about creating space for thought leadership, collaboration, and bold future-forward thinking,” says
Trevor Haynes, Chairman & CEO. “By bringing together diverse perspectives from our Black Diamond network, we’re able to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends, risks and opportunities – and ultimately align our long-term vision and growth strategies with the realities of a changing world.”
The day was filled with engaging panel discussions, real-world insights, and forward-thinking ideas. Internal panels led by Black Diamond Group leaders and subject-matter experts explored core areas of business, sparking meaningful conversation and fresh perspectives.
A highlight of the day was a thought-provoking session with The Right Honourable Stephen J. Harper, Canada’s 22
nd Prime Minister. He offered valuable insight and perspective on Canada-U.S. relations, geopolitical tensions, the economy and shifts in global trade and tariff policy.
The day wrapped up with a relaxed networking reception where attendees continued to connect and reflect on the day’s themes.
As we look back on ONWARD 2025, it’s clear the summit has helped us set a strong foundation for the future. At Black Diamond Group,
Our Way is to Create A Better Way, and that begins with how we plan, collaborate, and lead.
