The events will be held digitally during the week of September 14th, 2020 in the following five regions across Canada (final dates to be confirmed):
• British Columbia and Northern Region
• Prairies Region
• Ontario Region
• Atlantic Region
• Quebec Region
The call for applications to register for CXC participation opened on June 1, 2020. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply and submit their video pitches until September 9, 2020.
