What's Happening in Toronto, ON…

The Toronto Board of Trade are holding an economic forecast panel on September 7 from 11:30 am - 1:45 pm. The panel is part of the Certified Management Accountants of Ontario Financial Series. Tickets are $79 for Board of Trade members and $99 for non-members, with a table of 8 also available for $623 for members and $792 for non-members.

The topic of the economic forecast panel is ‘Insights into Canada's economic future’. The panel will consist of Craig Alexander of TD Bank Group, Stefane Marion of National Bank of Canada, Douglas Porter of BMO Capital Markets, Avery Shenfeld of CIBC World Markets, and Craig Wright of RBC. These five financial experts will be sharing their ideas about the future of Canada's economy during the next year, including discussing available opportunities for growth in the economy and global issues which will affect it.

This event could be a very good marketing opportunity for business professionals in Toronto. Those who plan to attend will probably be arranging for business card printing services in advance. They will want to be sure they have enough cards to hand out to everyone they meet, with plenty of time allocated both before and after the panel for business leaders to meet and to exchange cards. It will not be a selling opportunity but will give each person a chance to discuss their business and how it can help others. This will be the perfect chance to practice that elevator pitch in a reasonably relaxed atmosphere.
