Markham Board of Trade August Breakfast Networking

The Markham Board of Trade’s August breakfast is a morning chamber room for Markham and York Region members who want introductions before the workday. The program mixes registration, opening remarks, short elevator pitches, new-member intros, and door prizes rather than a single keynote. If you work Markham, Richmond Hill, or nearby York Region corridors, this is board-of-trade density instead of a downtown Toronto pitch night. Bring a concise 30-second introduction - the elevator-pitch block is part of the format, not optional color. Door prizes close a working breakfast that still expects elevator pitches and new-member intros before 9:30 AM.

Markham Board of Trade is the named host for this Warden Avenue / Hilton Markham stop. Non-members can attend at the higher listed rate. New-member intros are on the agenda, so membership conversations are expected. Door prizes sit at the end of a working breakfast, not in place of the pitch and intro blocks. Budget for chamber pricing if you are not a member.

Thursday, August 6, 2026, 7:30-9:30 AM at Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites Conference Centre & Spa, 8500 Warden Avenue, Markham, ON L6G 1A5. Listed pricing: about $34.95 + HST for members and $49.95 + HST for non-members, with badge and registration cutoffs the day before. Confirm live rates and capacity on the Markham Board of Trade calendar. Warden Avenue is a Markham drive, not a Union Station hop; leave morning buffer.

Register before the day-before cutoff; walk-up is unsafe when badges close. Later in August the same board runs an AGM at YSpace Markham and an After 5 in Unionville - this breakfast is the early-month morning stop. Go if York Region chamber density before 9:30 AM is more useful than a downtown evening mixer.
