Construction fun fact

How many panes of glass does it take to help build a bright meeting space with an iconic atrium and breathtaking ballroom that features floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning panoramic views? Approximately 226,000 square feet worth. That’s equal to over 13 NHL-sized ice rinks!

How to prepare to host an international event

So, you just won the bid for a major international conference, now what? We asked our Director of Sales, Dawn Baldwin, to share her top 3 tips on what it takes to start getting ready to host some of the world’s biggest and brightest:

Connect with the previous host committee and destination representatives to better understand the opportunity and what they learned from their experience.

Go to host cities before yours. Present the new host city to the general assembly and build relationships. Most recently, we headed to STEMFest 2015 in Saskatoon, Canada.

Start thinking about your marketing and communications strategy well in advance, and start promoting the event as early as possible.

Check out this video to see what we experienced at STEMFest 2015, as we prepare to be the best hosts ever when STEMFest 2018 comes to Halifax.
