The novel Coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting Canadians in Asia in both their current business affairs and daily lives. The outbreak and related response have caused a multitude of different situations to be dealt with by the community. CanCham Shanghai would like to give a chance to our members to share about their experiences, so that we may all learn and grow stronger together in the face of this crisis.
CanCham Shanghai would like to invite you to a Webinar on Wednesday, March 25th, 2020, at 2:00PM to stay connected and learn about the situation and its impacts on Canadian's business relations with Asia. This webinar is sponsored by our gold sponsor, Trustiics, which is an online marketplace where small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals with international legal needs can get quality legal consultation, legal translation or legal due diligence directly, conveniently and affordably.
The event is also in partnership with RBC Wealth Management, a Canadian multinational financial services company and the largest bank in Canada by market capitalization, as well as with Integra Group, a management accounting firm providing accounting, tax, HR, and advisory services to firms across Asia.
This Webinar is open to all of you, including CanCham PRD, CanCham Hong Kong, CanCham SG and CanCham Beijing. This is your chance to follow up with the COVID-19 outbreak in the region, and now the rest of the world. You will learn about how Asia reacted after the previous pandemic crisis from an economic and business point of view, perhaps guiding us to what might be coming for business in Asia in the near future. Questions about how local authorities are implementing measures to ensure a safe and prosperous environment will also be discussed.
The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session where our members will have a chance to express their concerns about the situation. The Webinar will also be available online for post-consultation if you cannot join in the live broadcast on time. Whether you are currently in Asia or Canada, you will have access to the content.
