Following the spectacular success of previous "Canada-India: A synergy in Education" events held in 2007 & 2008 respectively, the much anticipated sequel in 2009 will feature another education giant, CHINA.

While Synergy I brought hundreds of Canadian institutions together to discuss common India objectives, challenges and opportunities, Synergy II conducted in partnership with ACCC & FICCI brought specialists from India who discussed specific vocational areas and presented joint partnership opportunities.

Conceived by ICE Inc., a leading Canadian education event organization, this event will once again take place at the Pearson Convention Center near Toronto on September 17, 2009.
