Dear Members of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce,

As the world is struggling with different economical challenges, we would like to invite you to this relevant and timely event on currency risk management. Foreign currency exchange (and even commodity prices) can increase a company's exposure to rapidly fluctuating economic conditions and their inherent risks (volatile currency markets can raise expenses, diminish profits and make accurate long-term planning almost impossible).
