Business Profiles for Canadian participants were sent to the foreign parties in advance of the meetings; each Canadian received the same B2B details on the international meeting hosts in advance of the meeting sessions.
Each of the three B2B sessions was two hours long, allowing for 10 minutes per meeting host. Meetings were ten minutes each (eight-minute meetings with a two-minute turnaround). The hosts remained in one location for the duration while Canadians circulated to each meeting.
