BBOT Asia and Canada Connections

Burnaby Board of Trade's International Connections: Asia and Canada night runs Tuesday, October 20, 2026 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM PDT at RBC's Executive Dining Space, 1055 West Georgia Street, 36th Floor in downtown Vancouver. Host copy frames the third event in the International Connections series for business leaders, trade professionals, and government representatives focused on Canada-Asia trade, investment, innovation, and supply-chain partnerships. Food and drinks are part of the elevated dining-room format. Member tickets list at $45 and non-members at $55; refunds or credits need at least three business days' notice under BBOT policy. Program detail may still deepen closer to the date, so treat the live GrowthZone listing as the source of truth before you leave Burnaby or Richmond.

BBOT is Burnaby's chamber-style business network, and this RBC-hosted Asia corridor mixer is one of the clearer Lower Mainland trade rooms on the Circuit map when Ascend or TiE Vancouver calendars stay thin. Partnership inquiries go to tiffani@bbot.ca; event contact Sarah Rainey is listed on the GrowthZone page if registration tooling glitches. The venue sits in downtown Vancouver even though the host is Burnaby-based, which matters for commute planning across the Burrard Inlet bridges. Treat downtown tower security and elevator check-in as real logistics, not a soft lobby walk-in.

This is right for Burnaby and Metro Vancouver operators who already work Asia trade, investment, or supply-chain partnerships and want a screened dining-room mixer with RBC as venue partner. Skip it if you need GVBOT's SME awards night or a founder pitch conference. Bring one concrete market or partnering question rather than a generic business-card stack. West Georgia evening arrival and 36th-floor security both need buffer before 4:00 PM.

If you are choosing between this Tuesday Asia connections night and GVBOT's Business Distinction Awards two days later, stay here for Canada-Asia trade density and use Thursday for the broader SME awards room. Register on the BBOT GrowthZone page, email sarah@bbot.ca if the cart fails, and re-check floor and timing notes closer to October 20.
