Clarifying NAFTA
*Due to poor weather and driving conditions on October 2, 2018 our speaker was unable to make it out to Airdrie. This event has been rescheduled to Thursday, Ocotber 11, 2018.
As the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) re-negotiations lurch from forced optimism to apprehension, small businesses in Canada need to face the possibility that the trade deal might collapse. But, now is not the time to panic.
Join the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce for a discussion featuring Carlo Dade, Director of Trade & Investment Centre, Canada West Foundation. Carlo will discuss NAFTA and what businesses can do now to prepare.
Presentation to include:- Background on where we are with NAFTA
- Scenarios for negotiations going forward, or why you shouldn’t panic watching tv or reading the paper
- What’s in and not in NAFTA, or why it’s not nearly as bad as you think
- Why that’s important for your business
- How to figure out if you’ll have a problem if NAFTA goes
- What to do with this info
- Other opportunities, or why, even with the mess around NAFTA, this is a great, unbelievably great, time to think about exporting
- an understanding of what’s happening, replace fear and apprehension with understanding and lower blood pressure
- give practical steps to figure out how the business could be impacted and what to do
- use that same info to figure out new opportunities
