CredX: Advancing a Skills-First Economy

Two days with employers, educators, government and communities at the same table — making skills visible, trusted and portable.

Tickets on sale September 15, 2026

CredX is where the people building the future of skills recognition come together. Each year, industry leaders, government decision-makers, and post-secondary educators gather in Vancouver to move the conversation and the systems forward.

We bring diverse voices into the same room because the challenges around micro-credentials, digital badges, and recognition are too complex for any one sector to solve alone. Across two days of expert panels, collaborative workshops, and synthesis sessions, participants leave with real tools, real connections, and real momentum. This is not just a conference. This is where change starts.

CredX in Action

“

I found this year even better than the first year! I really appreciated the line up of speakers, how they were organized by theme and that time was managed really well. There was a well balanced mix of perspectives. Everyone worked so hard to make the conference seamless.
