Attended the open house for District 28 on Thursday. Met up with some vendors and enjoyed a glass of ‘Veuve’, poured by an aerialist.

Lovely reception last night for over 400 guests at Steam Whistle Brewing, hosted by PDAC.

Just thawing out after several days of Trip Directing and Transportation Management!  Six Rewards & Recognition Galas with 300 pax each were hosted at the Four Seasons Hotel and the Delta Toronto Hotel, over the course of 2 weeks. Congratulations to all the honourees!

The National Post published an article about the First Night Reception event at Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (the sarasreverie post regarding the event was on November 5, 2014)..

After 4 months of conferences and events I decided to ‘recharge’, starting with a trip to the AGO to see the work of a noted Canadian artist.

Travelled to Montreal recently to manage the roster of speakers at a conference, and was fortunate to meet a number of inspiring entrepreneurs. It’s always a great pleasure when you meet an inspirational speaker who is also gracious and down-to-earth. Arlene Dickinson is exactly that.

There are many great reasons to visit The Gentlemen’s Expo at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre; The Soundstage, The Sports Zone, Sampling of Craft Beer and Spirits, and the many Celebrity Appearances. I was thrilled to manage the Main Stage again this year and was fortunate to meet some extremely talented and inspiring speakers. One of the speakers I met this year was George St-Pierre. He was interviewed onstage and then proceeded to an autograph-signing session with over 250 fans who had been waiting in line since 7:00am. GSP greeted everyone personally and was just as gracious with the 1st fan as he was with the 250th.

Excited about the next design project – a lounge with an eclectic, fireside feel..next up, the fireplace!

Put together a couple of casual, branded spaces for guests to sit and read, check emails, and relax during breaks from the General and Breakout sessions using 3D Centrepieces, gobos, and skinning,

The Four Seasons for the Performing Arts was a lovely and fitting setting for the P3 2014 First Night Reception on the evening of November 3rd. The contemporary setting was a wonderful backdrop for modern, branded decor to showcase the logos for the 6 sponsors for the evening. ‘Marie Antoinette’, and a Mozart – inspired human statue greeted the guests, adding a touch of whimsy in keeping with the musical venue, while a brass quintet entertained. So much fun to be involved in planning and designing this event. *Antonia herself learned to play the harpsichord, spinet and clavichord, as well as the harp. During the family’s musical evenings, she would sing French songs and Italian arias.
