Creating Connections enables businesses, recruiters and professionals a chance to meet and promote their organizations to over 300 guests including approximately 200 Graduate and Undergraduate Business degree students with specialties in accounting, business administration, human resources management, international business, marketing and business technology.

Here are just a few comments from the business community and students from previous Creating Connections events:

I had an incredible experience at "Creating Connections". I was very impressed with the talent and level of enthusiasm the students showed. They expressed eagerness to grow within their respective fields and it was refreshing to learn that some of the students had a creative and unconventional outlook on business and entrepreneurialism. I must also add that the food was excellent! – Pete Banicevic, Tagga Media(Creating Connections 2014)

Creating Connections is a fantastic event for Capilano students to mingle with alumni and industry professionals because making a good first impression could lead to business opportunities that would have not existed otherwise! It is beneficial for both students to meet potential employers, and for industry professionals to meet the most enthusiastic business students Capilano has to offer. I was very positively impacted by the Creating Connections event and I am hopeful it will continue annually for future business students. – Nicole Delgiglio, BBA Student (Creating Connections 2014)

I was impressed with the organization and positive energy at the great event. I had opportunity to meet some great students and professionals. I'm looking forward to the next one. – Gordana, (Creating Connections 2014)

I met really inspiring and memorable individuals at the event. Plus, having been surrounded by young, talented, well educated, intelligent and well groomed upcoming business leaders of tomorrow – Marina Kaplun, Martec(Creating Connections 2015)

Thank you for putting together such a fabulous event! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of the students and was highly impressed by their due diligence in following up after the event. I’m sorry we did not have the chance to meet personally. I would love the opportunity to attend next year’s Creating Connections event. – Truzanne Claasen, Sales Talent Agency (Creating Connections 2015)
