March 29-31 Metro Toronto Convention Centre South Building (Trade Show: March 31)

Over the last several years I have made some great connections at the CSEME that ultimately resulted in substantial new business. It’s one thing to meet hundreds of people at these shows, but when you can actually see the return on your investment because the attendees are actually potential clients and buyers, it is gratifying. The corporate segment that attended in 2004 was exactly our target market and the traffic in our booth was great. It makes the decision on where to spend your advertising dollars easy. Count me in for a booth in 2005.

Opening Keynote Breakfast: Let’s Get Real Tom James

There is a significant difference between managing and leading. In both our personal and business life both are required. As people in organizations address their daily challenges, the management mindset focuses on the immediate realities in an attempt to fix them. The leadership mindset addresses situations with more of a holistic view. When both mindsets are applied, crises become growth opportunities and organizations prosper. Through a signature story in his book, Quick! Fix the Hippo, Tom generates a different pace for his audience in order to take a deeper look at their perception of what is real in their personal and organizational lives.

Is Your Website Working for You?

Picture This

Morgan Burke, President and co-founder of Exware Solutions, Vancouver, BC Many websites do not add value in the areas appropriate to their organizations, and soon become costly burdens. Websites provide value to organizations in several ways -- they streamline communications, boost productivity, cut costs, generate leads, and perhaps even process sales or event registrations directly. Understanding where your website's real value lies and how to maximize it, is the key to getting your website working for you.

Don't miss this engaging closing presentation by award winning international event producers Ken Christopherson CSEC, CSEM and Cari Van Camp CSEC. Alongside a team of industry pros, Ken and Cari narrate the interpretation of a budget through the eyes of an Event Producer, a Caterer, a Decor designer and a Lighting supplier. The process of event development and the actual final product will vary significantly depending on which supplier was the first point of contact for the client. A supplier may think they hit the jackpot and "The Winner Takes It All" but see how variables can make or break the ultimate event's success. Learn exactly how improperly allocated event budget can excite some guests, leave others wanting something more and that the key to a successful event is balance.

When designing the perfect event, more often then not we are creating a one of a kind product that has never been done before. These events come from a vision within our creative minds. This interactive seminar takes you on that arduous journey from concept to contract. Along this “journey” you will hear some case studies, and walk away with some new design tricks. Learn how to craft the proposal, include effective visual aids, to create a tangible image that will get the client to sign on the bottom line.

9:45 AM So You Want to Be a Wedding Planner! Joy Moyles, President, Encore Wedding Design With the demographics of weddings changing so drastically since the onset of the millennium, wedding planning has taken on a whole new concept and has become a much sought after career path. But as with any path or designation within the events industry, wedding planning takes time, dedication, determination, and a lot of hard, physical work. What does it entail? Our expert, Joy Moyles, will discuss the following: • What is the difference between a Wedding Coordinator, Wedding Consultant and Wedding Planner? • How the change in wedding demographics affects Wedding Planners. • Why hire a Wedding Planner? • The misconception surrounding the Wedding Planner’s job: all glitz-all glory! • What makes a good Wedding Planner – learned or inherited? • Wedding Planner certification or designation • Ideas for planning a successful, memorable wedding.

What Sponsors Really Want Frank Greco, Frank Greco & Associates, Toronto, ON Finding companies to sponsor events is a daunting task. There is so much competition for the sponsorship dollar that the vast majority of proposals are rejected before the first page gets read. This seminar will look at how a sponsorship proposal should be developed, how to determine what the sponsor wants (the benefits), determining the price, developing the contract and cultivating the relationship. This seminar will also feature sponsorship managers who devote millions to various local and national sponsorship initiatives. They will point out why they sponsor certain events and what they want in return for their sponsorship dollars.
