More than 140 members and guests joined us on June 25 at the Distillery District for our Summer Networking Night, our biggest turnout since 2019.
Twelve members pitched their businesses on stage, from a Mississauga moving company to a Gatineau notary office. Several told us they booked follow-up meetings before the night was over.
In the feedback survey, 81% of attendees asked for more sector-specific sessions. We are planning a trades breakfast and a professional services roundtable for the fall.
Thank you to our volunteers and to Chef Amina's Kitchen for the catering.
