POSTPONEMENT – Canada AI and the ASEAN Market Opportunity Event

Please be advised, that after great consideration the “Canada AI and the ASEAN Market Opportunity” panel event scheduled for December 17^th, 2018, has been postponed to Q1 of 2019.

The postponement is due to the event’s close proximity to the holiday season and a high frequency of scheduling conflicts. In an effort to maximize the benefit for all parties, the decision was made to find an inherently less busy time of year to host this important discussion and learning opportunity.

In postponing the event, Fasken and CABC will continue to work closely with our partners in Canada and ASEAN to further expand on the panel event’s accompanying mission to ASEAN in 2019. The Q1 2019 programme will be more robust and well worth the short wait!

On behalf of Fasken and the CABC, we thank you for your support and patience.

We wish you the very best this holiday season and look forward to reconnecting in early 2019 with new details for the event!
