Quebec-New York Transportation Rendezvous 2024 an Overwhelming Success!

Thanks to all who attended the 2024 edition of our Quebec-New York Transportation Rendezvous and B2B event! The event was our largest yet with over 220 attendees participating in over 200 B2B meetings throughout the day!

Attendees came from all across Quebec and New York (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Endicott, Long Island, and more), as well as Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, and beyond.

When attendees weren't finding new customers, suppliers, and vendors in the B2B matchmaking room - they were attending informative panels on topics relevant to the Transportation Equipment and Aerospace Industry such as Advanced Air Mobility, the Battery Ecosystem in Quebec/New York, and more.

During the lunch hour, attendees were able to hear from key elected officials from Quebec and New York including Quebec's Minister for the Economy, Christopher Skeete, the U.S. Consul General at the U.S. Consulate in Montreal, Robert P. Sanders, and Governor Kathy Hochul's Deputy Secretary for Transportation, Nivardo Lopez.

The day concluded with a post-event reception, sponsored by the Quebec Government, at BETA TECHNOLOGIES’ Plattsburgh Hangar where event guests were able to interact with one another and see Beta's state-of-the-art eVTOL, ALIA, firsthand.

Thank you to all event planning partners and sponsors:
