Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time.
Time is running out to reconcile economic development and green transition.
It's time to take action for a sustainable future.
Fighting climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Cities and metropolises play a key role in this due to their high concentration of economic activity and population.
Companies, large and small, can make a difference. They have a key role to play. It's in this context that the Chamber and BMO have joined forces to roll out the convertgence initiative, aimed at helping urban businesses accelerate their green transition.
On March 21, a new edition of the convertgence Strategic Forum will take place. This key event attracted over 650 participants at its first edition in 2024.
A full day of conferences, panels and expert sessions is waiting for you. Whatever your company's stage of progress in the green transition, this day aims to guide you as best you can in your approach.
At this major mobilization event, you'll meet green transition specialists, ecosystem leaders, political figures and other companies and entrepreneurs committed to making their business practices more sustainable. An exhibition area will also allow you to meet organizations offering solutions to help you make the green transition.
The event will close with a networking cocktail, a privileged opportunity to create connections with key players.
Join us on March 21 for this must-attend event at the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth.
Reserve your place now. Get on board and take action!
