This initiative offers workshops intended for producers from underrepresented groups. From fostering connections and networking opps to expert business training sessions, customized workshops, and a whole lot more; it’s all about gaining tools, contacts, and knowledge to thrive in a global marketplace. Of course, our Canadian talent will be there in a big way!
