At the 2024 Summit, we are thrilled to have two dynamic groups dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the summit and the host city community:
The Local Strategic Board
Brings together experienced executives who put their experience and network at the service of the 2024 summit. In concrete terms, the board members are instrumental in:
- Helping open doors to raise funding,
- Inviting and securing iconic speakers from Canada/Québec to attend the summit,
- Acting as spokespersons and figureheads with the business community, government bodies and the media.
