This year aNd teamed up with the Investment Dealer’s Association for the Financial Administrators Annual Conference held in Vancouver, BC. With over 100 delegates attending the conference at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, delegates were met with an unforgettable experience. After 3 days full of sessions, delegates were treated to evening events that included Klondike Kate at Grouse Mountain to a Fire and Ice evening complete with the infamous Olympic Committee member Dick Pound speaking.

Shoppers Drug Mart annual Pharmacy Conferences welcomed back the return of the Halifax among their stops! Starting in Toronto and heading to Calgary followed by Halifax, delegates and staff alike were happy to return to the warm & welcoming arms of Halifax! With this year’s dinner theme as “Partner’s For Life” delegates were given stickers upon entering the dinner room and were to find their “partner for life” for the chance to win an iPod. With Ken & Barbie’s recent reconciliation, the night was a hit!

This year’s Government Affairs Summit celebrated the merging of Nextel & Sprint in a city not short on entertainment– Fort Lauderdale, FL! With lobbyists and consultants from across the country, delegates were given the opportunity to meet their counterparts and get to know them while dining along Miami’s infamous Lincoln Road.

This summer, over 600 international delegates visited our city of Toronto for the International Symposium on Plasma Chemistry, now in its 17th year. aNd Logistix was honoured to plan this truly international event, attended by professors, doctors and students from all over the world. With over 200 speakers and hundreds of poster sessions, this week long event proved to be highly educational for the delegates. aNd wanted to be sure to give the international delegates a small taste of our wonderful country through a group tour to Niagara Falls and a Gala Dinner held at the Liberty Grand with the Canadian Three Tenors as the feature entertainment. Overall, the event was a great success for everyone involved and our international delegates expressed great gratitude and excitement over their visit to our city and country.

The 6th Annual National itSMF Conference headed for our nation’s capital this year. The Westin Ottawa Hotel helped aNd to welcome 300 IT professionals who met over general sessions, breakout sessions and exhibit fair opportunities. New this year, the conference welcomed spouses with a spousal program that included museum tours, a walking tour and spa appointments.

As always, we are honoured and excited to welcome new clients to our roster. Our newest clients are the American Ceramics Society and Velocity Group, both out of the U.S. We look forward to servicing them in the coming year and to welcoming them to our fantastic city of Toronto!
