Roundtables are at the heart of the CVR experience. They allow authorized representatives of Canadian women-owned businesses to meet directly with procurement leaders from large corporations, in a dynamic and structured format.
In small groups, these meetings provide the opportunity to better understand buyers’ needs, their procurement processes, and potential collaboration opportunities.
It’s a unique moment to exchange ideas, ask questions, and position your company in front of key decision-makers.
