Coffee Talks

We’re always interested in getting to know more about our members and keeping up-to-date on their business.

A Coffee Talk is a 20-minute informal presentation at Destination Greater Victoria’s Corporate Office where we learn about your business, your products and/or any new services you offer.

We also encourage you to present Coffee Talks to our staff at the Visitor Centre.
