Our involvement

Small business forum

Every year, CIBC holds a forum for small business owners. In 2017, Marcus Lemonis, star of CNBC’s The Profit and CEO of Camping World and Gander Mountain, shared his “People, Process and Product” formula for business success, and emphasized the importance of capturing and using data to drive business decisions. In 2018, Google presented tips on how to use Google analytics to increase market presence and drive customers to their websites.
