On April 26th, Venture Kamloops in partnership with the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce hosted a 2010 Procurement Workshop. The workshop was delivered by the 2010 Commerce Centre and provided individuals information on where to find opportunities, how to prepare successful bids and where to go for support. The event was a great success. There was a great buzz and excitement in the room with over 85 people sharing their ideas and experiences.
"The business community's involvement with this workshop was very good, and certainly one of the largest turnouts we've seen outside the lower mainland. I believe Kamloops is ripe for games-related opportunities.
With the experience, skill level and enthusiasm seen from the businesses in attendance, I'm sure we'll see more 2010 contracts coming into Kamloops."
Ken Veldman, Manager Business Connections, 2010 Commerce Centre, Ministry of Economic Development
