Canadian Visionaries Network

Our difference-makers

Meet the Canadians who attract the world

The Canadian Visionaries Network (CVN) was developed by Destination Canada to showcase Canada's strengths as a leading destination for business events, and to connect people from around the world with the inspiring ideas and experiences of Canadian industry, academic and association leaders.

Through their innovative work, each member of the network is opening hearts and minds to new ideas, experiences and perspectives, and helping their industries take crucial steps towards growth and change.
