UPCOMING GLOBAL EXCHANGES

If you want to impact a country, you must first reach its leaders. This Exchange will bring together Canadian professionals and influential leaders in Cali, Colombia to build a sustainable platform where ideas, relationships, and leadership can thrive. As a member of this team, you will engage through dinner gatherings, business events, and one-on-one conversations. You will connect directly with Colombian leaders who are shaping the future of their city. The connections cultivated on Global Exchange inspire innovation, transform communities and impact countries.

Cali sits in a valley surrounded by mountains and is the only major Colombian city with access to the Pacific Coast, making it an important urban and economic center. With a population of about 2.4 million, it is Colombia’s third-largest city and the most populous in the southwest. Its main industries are industrial, agricultural, and service sectors. Located near the equator, Cali has a warm tropical climate year-round with little seasonal change. The city is famous for La Feria de Cali (the Cali Fair or Sugar Cane Fair) and is known as the Salsa Capital of the world.

As part of this experience, you will receive high-quality training designed to strengthen your confidence as a communicator and leader. You will collaborate with Canadian professionals while sharing your own insights with local leaders. This journey is designed to inspire growth, build meaningful relationships, and equip you to create greater impact in your own community. Join us in Cali for an experience that will challenge you, connect you, and transform the way you lead.
