Business Participation

We need your help, and we can help you.

The Student-2- Business Networking Conference is a win-win proposition.  As business leaders, we are all facing the demographic shift:  older workers are retiring and their replacements usually come from two main sources – students and immigrants.  You play a vital role in helping our students build networks and make personal & business connections in London; they can help you replenish the skills that give you a competitive advantage. The goal is to retain more talent locally, by introducing them to your company and by promoting the advantages of London as a city to live and work in.

Many of the students are in the middle of their programs.  They are hungry for information on what opportunities exist in London – what your company does, what roles exist and what skills are required.  Your knowledge is a great help in their understanding of London as a possible environment for their future.

This is not a job fair: it is an opportunity to meet the best and the brightest from top educational institutions, but we won’t stop you from scouting for talent - we know from the prior four events that businesses have recruited attendees.

Your support is critical to the success of this event and will enhance London’s ability to keep these valuable future workers. You can provide support by:

1. Attending the Event:  fee is only $25 per person, made possible by the generous support of our Sponsors, and covers attendance at the event, parking at the LCC, coat check, food and refreshments, beverage ticket, the “London Economics” and Keynote Speaker presentations and the all important Networking Session.
2. Sponsoring the Event:  It is through the generosity of our Sponsors that we can defray to costs for both the students and businesses.  Sponsorship packages are still available and we recognize our sponsors in all our print, web, media and event layouts.  Click here to view our Sponsorship packages.
