Upcoming Events 

March Event

 

March 23rd, 2022

Time: TBA

Location: Koi, 

#100, 1011 1st St SW
Calgary, Alberta
T2R 1J2

 

We are happy to announce that March’s event will be back in person at Koi!

 

What better way to celebrate being back in our community than by hosting a discussion on a phrase we heard a lot over the pandemic: ‘support local’. But Amazon is so easy, right? The word ‘local’ can mean different things to each retailer, consumer, and business owner. Join us to explore the various angles of this push to be more local, including aspects such as the economy and neighborhood connectedness, shipping and packaging, financial constraints, consumer perception, and regulatory requirements.

 

More details and registration link will be provided in early March
