MAPLE Business Council is pleased to be a sponsor of the Long Island Association’s International Trade Committee meeting focused on New York’s largest trading partner: Canada.

This meeting is hosted by LIA International Committee Chair, John Costanzo who is also our Executive Director of the New York Chapter of MAPLE.

Canada is the largest trading partner of both the U.S. and New York State. With more than a billion dollars in goods and services exported to Canada “everyday” in Professional Services, E-Commerce, Retail, Defense, Aerospace, Information Technology, Electronics, Life Sciences, Energy and more, it’s a perfect market for Long Island companies to expand their businesses.

Please join us for an informative and insightful discussion with key executives of Long Island and Canadian-based companies already doing business there and the Toronto Stock Exchange to discuss the excellent growth opportunity in this market of more than 30 million potential customers and a few surprising ways to secure the investment capital needed to expand your business through NY’s closest neighboring stock exchange.

There will be a question & answer session.

Panelists include:

Jim Peeples, President & COO, Challenger Motor Freight

Frank Ingrassia, President & CEO, Clever Devices, Ltd.

James Poulton, Vice President Portfolio and Strategy, Products & Solutions Group, Zebra Technologies

Reid Hamilton, Advisor, Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV)

MaryLynn Driscoll, Director of Business Development, Livingston International

We look forward to your participation!
