Business leaders are set to converge on Vancouver later this week at the Circle of Prosperity Summit at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will give the keynote address at the event, which is being hosted by the Business Council of B.C. and BC Chamber of Commerce.
Panelists will include business leaders such as VanCity CEO Tamara Vrooman and Coast Capital Savings CEO Tracey Readies as well as association heads such as British Columbia Technology Industry Association president Bill Tam.
Other panelists will include:
- former advisor to U.S. President Barack Obama and UCLA Berkeley economics professor, Christina Romer;
- Economist Magazine's economics editor Zanny Minton-Beddoes; and
- former Bank of Canada head David Dodge.
The summit is intended to set the tone for conversations about the province's economic and social future.
The event is part of a program that the Business Council of B.C. and B.C. Chamber of Commerce are calling the BC Agenda for Shared Prosperity.
Its intent is to take a fresh look at the economic and social development issues affecting the prosperity of British Columbians.
