The Aboriginal Business Match will be coming to the Langley Events Centre December 4-6, 2017.

ABM employs sophisticated business matching technology for communities and the private sector to create up to 31 pre-scheduled appointments before they attend the show. These appointments level the playing field and keep the conversation focused and efficient, helping to determine next steps if a business match has been made or is possible.
The 2.5-day hyper-productive experience eliminates geographic barriers, condenses time requirements, and reduces costs. ABM provides the forum to distill potential into real deals.

Tables will be set up for people who would like to eat inside, and a station will be set up outside for ‘Drive Through’ service. Food and drinks are by donation.
Langley Volunteers will also accept personal donations to your organization of choice; any undesignated donations will go towards sustaining Giving Tuesday in the years to come.
The Langley Gives committee consists of representatives from Langley Hospice, Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, MLA Rich Coleman’s office, City of Langley, Langley Care Foundation, School District Foundation and Langley Volunteers. Please like and share the Langley Gives Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LangleyGives/!
