CAMSC, CGLCC, and IWSCC, (SDAC) together with WEConnect International as the event partner, join forces to bring you DEFY Conference 2024, Canada’s largest Supplier Diversity event. DEFY is the SDAC’s first ever 3-day conference, an unmatched diverse supplier experience. This conference brings together all diverse entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, government, and ecosystem partners to learn, connect, and drive change through business through workshops, keynotes, matchmaking sessions, and fun-filled events.
As we navigate the rapidly changing waters in both political and economic spheres, we often ask ourselves how to DEFY the odds. How do we challenge tradition and encourage new and innovative solutions? How do we channel our companies in the right direction? Ultimately, how do we support and facilitate our companies to grow and expand their footprint across borders?
June 12 @ 7:00 am – June 14 @ 2:00 pm
Le Centre Sheraton Hotel – 1201 René-Levesque Blvd West
Montreal, QC, H3B 2L7
