C2's annual creative-business event is back and celebrating its 10th anniversary
MONTREAL, May 26, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - There is optimism in the air and the growing sense that it's time to reset, reconnect and re-engage. C2 is very excited to announce the return of its annual creative-business event, both online and in person, October 19-21 and 26-28. For six days, C2 Montréal will offer up a dynamic mix of inspiring physical and digital experiences designed to help businesses and individuals elevate their business game. Details of the in-person component of the event will be revealed at a later date when public health measures for the fall are announced.
"Last year, despite the pandemic, C2 organized a major online event to connect its community. For 2021, which remains a transition year as we re-emerge from confinement, we decided to bring back our extremely successful online event and add an in-person component. We'll be able to convene our global audience and connect them to our local participants and partners, who have been so supportive of C2 over the last year. We can't thank them enough," says Jacques-André Dupont, President and CEO of C2.
This year, C2 Montréal is celebrating a significant milestone: its 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion, C2 is launching a new, long-term initiative designed to celebrate and grow an impactful community of creative young business people. By welcoming thousands of next-generation business leaders to the online event, C2 is working to give more women, students and members of the IBPOC and LGBTQ2S+ communities access to opportunities. Now more than ever, C2 Montréal continues to create an inclusive business ecosystem where diverse people can grow and thrive.
Each year, C2 picks a theme to orient the conversation, direct actions and inspire participants. For 2021, the theme for C2 Montréal is (Re), which speaks powerfully to the moment we now find ourselves in: it's time to (Re)convene, (Re)connect, (Re)engage, (Re)imagine and (Re)new. After an unprecedented 14-plus months that presented enormous challenges, both personal and professional, there is now reason to be hopeful.
C2 strives to deliver a wide range of inspirational programming with next-level networking, collaborative and learning opportunities, and signature C2 experiences. Participants can get more details as well as their online pass at https://www.c2montreal.com/register. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions and ever-evolving public health recommendations, in-person access to the event is currently limited to 2020 pass holders and partners. However, people who are interested can sign up for the waiting list for in-person spots.
