Using case studies from global conferences hosted in Canada’s innovation centres, we’ll provide you with the tools to identify knowledge hubs by sector, and the roadmap for how to best connect with local industry and thought leaders to create meaningful content presentations, technical tours and field trips, and enhanced networking opportunities during your event, ultimately increasing your event ROI.
