Success for the Business Exchange Day which took place on December 3, 2014 in Val-d’Or: described by some as “speed dating”, each company receives their personalized calendar of 15-minute business meetings with selected partners. The Business Exchange Day was an opportunity to identify new opportunities to form new partnerships to enrich networks and develop business. The program included business meetings, a trade show, speakers, a good meal and networking moments as well as a keynote address by Mr. Rodney Mark, Deputy Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees.
