TD adds to Jazz portfolio with presenting sponsorship of 2010 Montreal International Jazz Festival

While TD has been supporting Jazz festivals across the country, from Vancouver to Halifax, the Montreal event is no doubt the highest profile of them all, and provides TD with a significant opportunity to build their community presence in the Quebec market. Their sponsorship also includes entitlement of the Gallerie Lounge TD, located at the Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan, year round home of the Festival.

The session tracks are for your convenience, but once registered you are free to pick and choose among all the sessions offered.

But if your responsibilities cut across all sponsorship disciplines, you may attend the sessions that are most relevant to your professional development needs.
