Languages Canada's next inbound trade mission will host 20 Thai and Vietnamese education agents in beautiful Montréal, Québec, December 1 through 4, 2024.

As Tourisme Montréal puts it, Montréal is ‘’a striking union of European charm and North American attitude, [the city] seduces visitors with a harmonious pairing of the historic and the new, from exquisite architecture to fine dining’’.

This is the perfect setting for members to show Thai and Vietnamese agents that their students are more than welcome in Canada. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to strengthen long-standing partnerships, create new and rewarding relationships, and ensure agents feel motivated to keep Canada top of mind.

Why attend?

As Italian and Spanish agents, students and their families look to Canada for English, French, K-12 and postsecondary education, the sector must build and nurture partner relationships to generate more awareness of Canada's rich and diverse offer.

The Languages Canada 2023 Inbound Trade Mission with Italian and Spanish Education Agencies in Banff will allow you to:

• Conduct B2B meetings and network with decision-makers from 30 high-quality, preselected Italian and Spanish agency representatives in an intimate, small-scale setting.
• Build market presence and brand awareness with key players in the industry.
• Take advantage of the beautiful event location to conduct valuable off-site networking with agents and other Canadian participants.
• Take part in this high-profile event, hosted at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Located in the heart of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world-famous Banff Springs Hotel stands as a landmark in the picturesque alpine town of Banff, Alberta. Canada's "Castle in the Rockies," has been providing legendary hospitality to guests for more than 130 years.
• Host the group of agents on your campus (available for members in Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver as an add-on to the mission for additional cost of $1,400).
