The event will take place at the newly renovated ballroom at the Italian Cultural Centre.
The evening begins at 6 pm, with a Prosecco networking reception featuring traditional Italian appetizers of crostinis and bruschetta. Supported by Vino Allegro. The reception will be followed by a 4 course dinner accompanied by Italian wines.
We are pleased to have Mike Killeen, CTV's 2010 Olympic reporter, as our emcee for the evening's awards presentation. The Italian Ambassador and Consul General will be in attendance.
The inaugural BC Italian Business Excellence Awards honour five areas of distinction: Business Excellence; Young Entrepreneur; Global Success; Innovation; and Italian Hospitality.
Our Keynote speaker Mario Moretti Polegato, Chairman of GEOX SpA, will explain how the company that created the world's first "breathable shoe" has become Italy's number 1 and the world's number 3 footwear brand reaching over €770.2 million (1 billion dollars CDN) in net sales.
Award nominees and guests will have the pleasure of dining on a delicious menu starting with a traditional Italian Antipasto, Porcini Mushroom Risotto, Chicken breast stuffed with Prosciutto, Spinach, and Three Cheeses and Rustic Tiramisu with Raspberry Coulis with wines presented by Select Wines.
