Commenting on the upcoming gathering which is about to kick off in less than a day, SBC CEO & Founder Rasmus Sojmark has welcomed the opportunity to see this important event take shape.

He insisted that this year’s edition had a distinct pan-Canadian twist that was designed to go beyond discussion Ontario and explore what opportunities are presented to stakeholders in the Canadian market as a whole.

"This event goes beyond discussing Ontario; it does a great job of educating the audience about the intricacies of operating in Canada, and most importantly, it has all the right people under the same roof. Use your time here wisely," Sojmark concluded.
