SUMMARY:CONNECTED: Clarington’s B2B Forum
DESCRIPTION:Discovering local. Connecting business. Creating opportunity.How well do you really know your fellow businesses in your own community?Behind the doors of businesses across Clarington are products\, services\, expertise and capabilities that many of us simply don't know exist.CONNECTED: Clarington's B2B Forum is an opportunity to change that.Join businesses from various sectors across Clarington for an afternoon designed to help discover each other\, understand what businesses do\, and uncover opportunities to do more business together.We will start by exploring why business-to-business (B2B) connections matter to the broader Clarington economy. When one local business purchases from another\, those dollars stay in our community longer\, supporting other businesses\, jobs and economic activity. It's the local multiplier effect\, and it starts with businesses knowing what is available right here. Then\, hear directly from a panel of Clarington businesses already putting collaboration into practice. They will share real examples of how they found local partners\, suppliers and opportunities\; how those relationships started\; and what they have learned along the way. And then it's your turn.Our Discovery Hour will bring businesses together to explore who is in the room\, what they do\, what they need\, what they can offer\, and where unexpected connections might exist.You might discover your next supplier. Your next customer. A referral partner. A solution to a problem. Or an opportunity neither of you had considered before.Because a stronger local economy isn't built by businesses simply operating beside one another  It's built when they discover one another.Come curious. Leave connected.
