Dealer Showcase in Toronto

Well, we always like to think we can do the impossible and I think we came pretty close to that this month!  We orchestrated a 200+ person cross Canada dealer event with only 2 months notice.  That included venue sourcing, registration, airline ticketing, hotel coordination, entertainment, decor and venue setup & logistics.  And, we were under budget!!!  Whew!

A night out in Toronto!

We just completed a product launch for a client in Toronto. The highlight of the program was the Raptors game. We had 2 adjoining gondola’s on the 600 level to accommodate our group, what better way to enjoy a Raptors game then in a private suite complete with a build your own Philly cheese steak buffet! The Raptors beat the Detroit Pistons by 10 points, all in all it was a great night at the Air Canada Centre!

Coast to coast “Road Show”

Just wrapped up a very successful coast to coast “Road Show” for a client. The one day meetings took place in seven cities over a ten day period with each venue being transformed overnight into a custom coffee house complete with baristas on-hand to craft made to order espresso, lattes and cappuccinos.

Hockey Night in Fort Lauderdale

We just had the pleasure of hiring one of Canada’s famous faces; Ron MacLean of Hockey Night in Canada. Ron spoke at the client’s awards night in Fort Lauderdale and he was an absolute hit; not to mention a delight to interact with!He obliged guests for photos, autographed copies of his book and delivered his keynote presentation to much acclaim. His “surprise” visit was a big hit with everyone!

South America

I’ve just returned from vacation; two fabulous and most interesting weeks in South America. We flew to Santiago, Chile which is a massive city not unlike a North American city (only with much fewer people). Then on to Mendoza, Argentina to experience the wineries admist the Andes. Speaking of which, we took a bus from Santiago which in itself was an experience; there were 31 “curvas” on the ascent. Not for the faint of heart! Then on to Iguazu Falls which was breathtaking. Buenos Aires was on my bucket list and it did not disappoint; the architecture, food and culture were a never ending delight. An 11 ½ hour overnight flight with only a 2 hour time difference allowed us to make the most of our time!

The Sheepdogs at Yonge-Dundas Square

Last week we planned a free pop-up concert at Yonge-Dundas Square for a product launch for one of our clients. The band was The Sheepdogs and they were a huge hit! There was a good turnout, lots of media coverage and great music. A measurable success!

Vero Beach, Florida

I just got back from a week in Vero Beach, Florida. It was my first time visiting the Atlantic Ocean side of Florida and what a nice surprise! The beach was beautiful, the waves were huge and the fresh seafood was plentiful. There is so much to do in Vero; we went biking, golfing, body surfing, mini putting and managed to fit in a few shuffle board tournaments. This picture is the view from our beach house balcony, I could get used to a view like this!
