Cosmetics Alliance Canada, NielsenIQ, and Miller Thomson are pleased to invite you to an exclusive Holiday Executive Briefing and Networking Event. This event will focus on e-commerce compliance, brand protection strategies, corporate governance, and an update on current market trends impacting the cosmetics, natural health product, and pharma sectors.
In today’s dynamic business environment, legal compliance is more crucial than ever when engaging in online sales and doing business in Canada. Non-compliance can lead to significant legal risks, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
This event will provide valuable insights into:
- E-Commerce: Discuss certain key legal compliance items to be mindful of when selling online, from privacy and anti-spam to “internet agreements”.
- Best Practices in Protecting your Brand: Discover ways to protect your brand and the various pros and cons to each option, from business name registration to trademark protections.
- Understanding Corporate Regulatory Requirements: Stay updated on the latest laws and regulations affecting your industry.
- Learn about your corporate obligations as a business formed in Ontario or under Canadian federal laws, including annual corporate filing obligations, annual resolution requirements and what to do if changing your governance structure. Explore the things to consider if carrying on your business in another province, including required filings.
- Market Trends & Insights: As we are getting ready to end the year and consumers are prepping for the holidays, join NIQ to get an overview of what turned out to be a challenging and surprising year for CPG in Canada. While inflation is down to ‘regular’ levels and prices have stopped increasing (while remaining high), Canadians are still cautious and making decisions to save money to stick to their budget. While food sales are growing, general merchandise (gen merch) and HABA sales are declining in the country. Come hear how beauty is performing, with trends from here and around the world.
- Case Studies and Expert Insights: Gain knowledge from real-world examples and connect with industry experts who will share their experiences and solutions.
This breakfast session offers the perfect opportunity to:
- Engage with Peers: Connect with fellow industry colleagues and professionals.
- Enjoy Breakfast: Enjoy a light morning meal and coffee in a relaxed atmosphere.
- Expand Your Professional Circle: Build industry relationships that can support your organization’s compliance efforts.
We believe this event will be highly beneficial to you and your organization, and we look forward to welcoming you for a morning of insightful discussion and networking.
Looking forward to seeing you!
