An Evening With The Consuls General
Inspired by our popular An Evening with the Deputy Ministers, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce introduces An Evening with the Consuls General.
Exploring new export markets and international partnership opportunities is essential for business growth in today’s integrated global economy. We would like to help you put your company or community in the forefront as Canada seeks new free trade arrangements, and as markets open in a global economic recovery. Join us as we gather together the Consuls General from our top import/export markets in an intimate evening of conversation and networking.
Beginning with hosted round table discussions and ending with a moderated Q&A, the evening will give you a unique opportunity to exchange opinions and gain insight about trade and investment opportunities around the world. Each table will be hosted by a Consul General; following dinner all Consuls General in attendance will move to the stage for the moderated Q&A. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the Consular Corps and establish connections that may help you bridge the distance to the world’s key export destinations.
