After the astounding success of our inaugural Newcomer Summit last year, the 2024 summit is becoming the most sought-after professional development event in the Capital region of New Brunswick! The Summit will attract a variety of participants who can expect to connect, learn and network alongside key industry stakeholders, eco-system partners, Mayors, business leaders and of course our newcomer and immigrant VIP’s.
