SMCC’s Cocktails, Conversations & a Concert Holiday Event

This holiday season we’re doing things a little different.

In addition to our yearly networking event, we’ve included an Educational Panel Session bringing together some of Vancouver’s top industry experts to talk about some of the incredible events that have been announced coming to Vancouver, how our industry will benefit, and what makes Vancouver that prime destination to host. What is “Vancouver’s Secret Sauce?”

Conversation will focus on the large scale events coming over the next few calendar years and the opportunities they will bring to our local industry. What do we have to look forward to, and how can we leverage or get involved. In addition, we want to dive deeper into what makes Vancouver so desirable and how Sport Hosting Vancouver has supported in actively finding new properties to approach.

If that’s not exciting enough, our friends at the PNE have invited all guests to their Winter Fair. Guests are encouraged to stay and enjoy some complimentary drinks and "fair foods" and network before heading out to explore the Winter Fair.

For those interested in staying, end the evening off with a concert by The Tenors.
