This summit will bring together exchange program alumni to foster continued engagement, networking, and collaboration among participants who have benefited from U.S. exchange initiatives. The summit will provide a platform for alumni to reconnect, share experiences, and explore opportunities for ongoing partnership. The target audience is Canadian alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs based in Canada.
