WestDef 2019
June 26, 2019 by WCDIA
The Western Canadian Defence Industries Association would like to thank everyone for their interest in WestDef 2019. Due to the current restructuring of our management team and board, we have decided to use this opportunity to establish priorities and set a new strategic plan over the summer. With these activities underway and the federal election taking place in September, we have decided to defer the 2019 event and host a revised WestDef next year.
WCDIA will still be hosting networking events and our SMB focused “Getting in the Game” workshops in BC and AB in 2019, so please make sure to stay connected through our newsletter and website.
We are grateful for all your support while we transition and look forward to serving you and your business in the future.
