PNWER's Hybrid 2021 Economic Leadership Forum was held in Vancouver, B.C. from November 17-19!The Economic Leadership Forum provides an opportunity for local, provincial, and state leaders in both the public and private sectors to carry out in-depth discussions on key subjects affecting our regional economy. This year's Economic Leadership Forum was held as a hybrid in-person/virtual event.
If you were unable to join us for the Forum, you can view session recordings and presentations here. Recordings and presentations are still be added so check back soon! We were proud to partner with the Future Borders Coalition (FBC) for our Economic Leadership Forum. The FBC met on Wednesday, November 17 to discuss strategies and priorities for the air, land, and sea border crossings along with challenges to the supply chain. PNWER attendees were welcome to attend the FBC sessions on November 17th, and FBC members were invited to stay for the remainder of the Economic Leadership Forum as well. This year, PNWER held our Economic Leadership Forum following the Cascadia Innovation Corridor's Annual Conference (November 16-17). |
