One day on the future of global trade
The Mississauga International Trade Summit is a new, one-day business forum from the Mississauga Board of Trade. It brings together global trade leaders, exporters, industry experts and decision-makers to look at how Canadian businesses can compete, expand and lead internationally as global markets change.
The program runs through five regional panels, covering the Indo-Pacific, the Gulf States, South America, Europe and North America, alongside keynotes and trade talks on market entry, tariffs and trade barriers, international payments, and what global buyers expect. A trade show and networking breaks run through the day, which closes with a cocktail reception.
Five regions, trillion-dollar economies, and the people who move Canadian goods and services across borders. One day, one room.
