This is Canada's first pan-Asia business conference organized by Canada's Chambers of Commerce from across the region to engage Canadian and non Canadian business and industry leaders with government representatives across the entire Indo-Pacific region on relevant policy and business related issues.

Covering key business issues ranging from investment and commodities to trade and geopolitics, attendees can expect to hear from business leaders and experts across the Indo-Pacific and Canada. The conferences aims to build and catalyze business and investment connections between business executives and government leaders on both sides of the Pacific.
