The Best Meeting in Canada awards

The Best Meeting in Canada awards — an industry first — were developed to reward and recognize organizations that are investing in, and can demonstrate, the value of meetings. To be recognized as a Best Meeting in Canada, your event must be professionally produced, including content, networking, audiovisual, decor, registration, attendee marketing and all the elements that comprise a professional meeting. However, it is not enough just to produce a good event. To plan and execute a great event, the meeting must have clear objectives and must be measured against those goals afterwards. It is this combination of professional planning and strategic implementation that comprised the criteria of the Best Meeting in Canada winners. Meetings are a vital part of an organization’s quantitative and qualitative success. The Best Meeting in Canada awards recognize those organizations that can best demonstrate their meetings’ value.
