"The high-tech landscape is always evolving, and crucial areas like collaboration, hybrid work, and cyber security require that our partners stay current on the latest innovations the market has to bear. We've all missed the ability to convene and network in a live setting, so it's a thrill to revisit this forum for our Vancouver-based partners. The goal is to equip them with the most pertinent knowledge to help them succeed."
