Why Virtual?
All minds on the ESOP Association Canada's ESOP Conference Committee have been working together to prepare a strong and valuable conference in 2021. While it was unfortunate that we had to postpone the 2020 conference, we are excited to offer a virtual event in March 2021.
We appreciate your patience as we look to adapt our annual conference to the new situation and believe you will find it of excellent value in which to participate.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This conference is for anyone interested or involved in equity sharing as an effective tool for business growth and exit planning. We’re anticipating an influential cross-sector participant group including business owners and CEOs of small and medium sized privately-held companies, employee-owners, executive leaders from large and medium public companies, co-op directors, and professional advisors.
