The Canadian Association of
Management Consultants (CMCCanada), together with ICMCI,
look forward to welcoming
Trustees from the America’s, and
members of ExCom, in Toronto,
Canada on June 18 and 19,
2015. Toronto is Canada’s economic capital and is heralded as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. The Golden
Horseshoe region is home to more than 9 million people, and almost 50% of its residents are foreign-born. Residents
represent more than 200 ethnicities, and speak more than 160 languages. Even with this cultural diversity, Toronto is ranked
as the safest large metropolitan area in North America, and as the best place to live by The Economist Intelligence Unit in
2015. Toronto also houses the largest number of consultants in Canada, with more than 1,100 who are CMCs.
This brochure includes a program
overview, agenda and
accommodation information.
More details will be shared as we
approach the June date. See you in Toronto.
