The Vancouver Board of Trade has been around for 125 years, helping businesses of all sizes. Past events have had some special speakers — most recently, Former U.S. Secretary of State and Former U.S. Senator from New York Hilary Rodham Clinton spoke during the Women’s Leadership Circle.
This will not be the first time White has been in front of a large crowd of people. In early 2013, the President was a special keynote speaker at New Media Expo.
One day later, UFC 174 will take place at Rogers Arena. In the main event, UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson will put his belt on the like against Ali Bagautinov. In the co-main event, B.C. born Rory MacDonald will square off against Tyron Woodley for number one contender status in the 170-pound division.
