POSTPONED - 2024 Export AwardsWhen we chose November 14 it seemed like the perfect date. However no-one could have foreseen how many competing events would be happening in Toronto. We have made the difficult decision to postpone our OWIT Toronto Export Awards event to a later date. The OWIT-Toronto Board felt that to deliver an event to the calibre in keeping with our standards, the best approach is to postpone.
We'll keep you informed on the new event date and when nominations will re-open. OWIT-Toronto is proud to recognize the achievements of women who, through their careers and personal commitments, foster international trade and the advancement of women.Please visit Woman Exporter of the Year, Excellence for Leadership in International Trade Award and Student of International Trade Award to see profiles of our most recent winners.Thank you to our 2024 Export Awards Sponsors: |
