iWeb Communities: Blog

This weekend, Jean-Luc and I will be heading to Trois-Rivières (which literally means “Three-Rivers”, about 90 minutes from Montreal) to take part in the RJCCQ’s convention, the RJCCQ is the organization that represents all the Young Chambers of Commerce in the province of Quebec.

This will be iWeb’s second time, last year Jean-Luc and I had a great time with a weekend full of interesting presentations and informal meetings. A combination of pleasure and professional development, really.

This year’s conferences will include Pierre-Karl Péladeau on Friday afternoon, and the next day Eric Chouinard, iWeb President of iWeb will give a conference titled “The Innovative Leader.” Eric is a governor of the RJCCQ, and has been very involved in the organization’s development over the past two years.

Last year, we listened to Pierre Boivin (President of the Montreal Canadiens), Jacques Ménard (Chairman of BMO Nesbitt Burns) and lots of other really interesting people who presented during the weekend – topped off with a gala on Saturday evening (we didn’t know, so we were under-dressed). Friday night, on the other hand, was mostly spent in great company at the hotel’s bar; it took a valiant effort for JL and I to justify the bill when we got back…

Overall, a great experience and we met lots of people with whom we have kept contact. So of course, we’re going back this year, and we’re looking forward to more of the same!
