WBE Canada’s Breakfast with Brands events are designed to be educational and informative, providing greater access to procurement networks for women-owned businesses looking to succeed in corporate supply chains. Our Cross-Border Connection event is run in sync with WBENC’s National Conference & Business Fair and is designed to connect Canadian women-owned businesses to US corporate buyers. Some of the Canadian buyers join us as well.
