Burnaby Board of Trade 2010 Biz Breakfast

Attended my second Burnaby Board of Trade event this week: 2010 Winter Games Opportunities Session - Presented by RBC. The presenters pointed out that there are still opportunities to sign up with the 2010 Commerce Centre and bid on Games-related product and service contracts. I also enjoyed the enthusiastic talk by Olympic hopeful Sylvia Kerfoot.

When I got back to the office I checked out the 2010 Commerce site and signed up for two free events: Demystify the RFP Bid Process Workshop at 2010 Commerce Centre on March 25, and 2010 Business Opportunities Workshop at BCIT in downtown Vancouver on April 2. Check out their events calendar.

The approach of the Winter Games reminds me of the Monty Python movie scene in which a couple of guards at a castle gate see a knight charging at them from far off in the distance, and charging, and charging, and then suddenly he is upon them and strikes them down. That's how I feel -- I've attended several 2010 Commerce events over the last couple of years, and now the Games are less than a year away!
