Virtual Business Crews – National Cohort

Virtual Business Crews – National Cohort
Network with participants from across Canada!

Virtual Business Crews is a networking activity that uses intelligent matchmaking to group participants who share similar objectives. Participants are placed into groups designed with their specific interests in mind, and then meet with the same group of 15 – 20 people weekly over a four-week period to discuss and collaborate on achieving their business objectives. Meetings are led by an experienced facilitator in order to maximize your networking experience.

For the Spring 2022 National Cohort, the Ottawa Board of Trade is pleased to partner with the following Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade to offer this networking activity to participants from across Canada:

Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal
Toronto Region Board of Trade
Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce
Vancouver Board of Trade
Whistler Chamber of Commerce

Based on past Business Crews programs, 3 out of 4 participants reported concluding a business deal with second, third and even fourth-degree connections of those they had met in their crew.

If you are looking to build your network and build lasting relationships with professionals from across Canada, this activity is for you!
