Organized by MBA and MGM students, the ‘Experience India’ Business Forum in August brought together business leaders, politicians and diplomats for discussions on India’s influence on Canadian businesses, both as a partner and as a market.

Meredith Slemko, MBA’11, was one of the organizers. “The forum really strengthened the importance of India as a potential place to be when graduates are applying for positions or opportunities,” she says.

In addition to special guests and faculty shown below, also present were representatives from such organizations as Bombardier, Dupont, Tata Consultancy, ICICI Bank, Tory’s Law Firms, Telus, and Export Development Canada, among others.

The Queen’s Business Forum will become an annual event focusing on business opportunities in other countries.
