2024 Cape Breton Partnership Investor Summit to feature Keynote Speaker, Arlene Dickinson

Unama’ki – Cape Breton, NS – The Cape Breton Partnership is excited to officially launch tickets for the 2024 Investor Summit, presented by Nova Scotia Power, to be held on October 24, 2024, at the Inverary Resort on Baddeck Bay. This year’s Investor Summit will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the Cape Breton Partnership and provide attendees with engaging presenters, updates from local and emerging businesses, and networking with local leaders.

“For the past 20 years, the Cape Breton Partnership has been dedicated to collaborating with local Indigenous communities, municipalities, government partners, and over 170 private sector Investors as Unama’ki – Cape Breton’s trusted economic development partner,” says Tyler Mattheis, President & CEO of the Cape Breton Partnership. “As we mark a significant milestone, we’re thrilled to announce that our 20^th anniversary celebration will feature a keynote address from Arlene Dickinson.”

Arlene Dickinson is world-renowned for her role as a ‘Dragon’ on CBC’s Dragon’s Den; she is also a self-made multi-millionaire as a communications entrepreneur, in addition to being one of Canada’s most successful businesswomen and investors.

“We are thrilled to have Arlene join us at the Investor Summit this year to share her expertise and how she blazed her own successful path as an entrepreneur,” said Brian Purchase, Chair of the Cape Breton Partnership Board of Directors. “We would also like to thank our Investors and friends at Nova Scotia Power who are this year’s Presenting Sponsor. Without your support and belief in the work we do to create a thriving Unama’ki – Cape Breton, this event would not be possible.”

Tickets are available on a first-come first-serve basis, with early bird ticket pricing available until August 30, 2024. Attendees of the Summit also have an opportunity to enjoy a social cruise on the Amoeba Tours’ WinStar and a private dinner reception happening on October 23, 2024, for an additional cost.
