MAPLE Business Council events bring together members, partners and guests for cross-sector networking and insightful presentations and talks from executives and government leaders as we promote Canada-U.S. economic ties through trade, investment and innovation collaborations.

We are grateful to our friends and fellow member, the Business Development Bank of Canada, for hosting us at their beautiful downtown Vancouver office for our final event of 2024. We are honoured to welcome Mathieu Céré, Senior Vice President of BDC in British Columbia and the North, as our featured presenter who will provide an economic update including perspectives on the implications of the U.S. election results for Canadian entrepreneurs.

Our program will also feature remarks by Jason Tse, MAPLE BC Executive Director; Stephen Armstrong, co-founder and President of MAPLE who will be joining us remotely; and incoming MAPLE President, Kim Walker who will be with us in Vancouver to meet members and guests.

This is a hybrid program with online participation available. Please indicate if you will be joining us in-person or online on your registration form.
