Who should attend?

Anyone interested in learning about the benefits of membership with your Ottawa Board of Trade (OBOT) and the important and impactful advocacy work that we do to support our business community and our city's economic development.

Holly provides a brief background on OBOT, showcases some of the of Affinity programs we provide our members with, and tops off the session with roundtable introductions - which allows for some meaningful networking!

We invite new members, future members, and existing members to attend as a great information (or refresher!) session.

We also have re-occurring guest speakers:
