Description

Start your morning with insight, access and meaningful conversation.

Power Hour is a new London Chamber of Commerce event series designed to connect members directly with prominent leaders and decision-makers shaping London and our region.

Each one-hour morning session will feature a respected community, business, government or industry leader sharing perspectives on timely issues, opportunities and developments that matter to London?s business community.

The format is simple and focused: a short presentation followed by an interactive Q&A, giving Chamber members the opportunity to hear directly from leaders, ask questions and gain valuable insight ? all within one powerful hour.

Whether the conversation is about economic development, infrastructure, government, innovation, investment, workforce or the future of our city, Power Hour puts Chamber members closer to the people and conversations helping shape what comes next.
