Is 2010 business in your future?

Only the “bigger deals” are awarded through a bidding process. Therefore, BC businesses are invited to develop their own complimentary, online profile in this public database, the 2010 Business Network, which is accessible through the 2010 Commerce Centre.  Create your own profile including relevant company information (contact details, company size, primary goods and services), sustainability features, and a customized description of that business’s competitive strengths.

The 2010 Business Network is marketed to all agencies, sponsors, National Olympic Committees, and international companies doing 2010 business.  These buyers will all require extensive local relationships, and will be able to search the database for goods and service suppliers, business partners, and Whistler business contacts. Think about test event organizers who need basic supplies, such as lunch packages, souvenir or hospitality gifts, flowers, and so much more. This database is as important as the yellow pages. The directory will be a resource even after the Olympics.  

What could registration with the 2010 Business Network mean for you?
