As per every year October is a month of several industry conferences that are always during the Canadian Thanksgiving, so it gives me the opportunity to leave without missing a beat on things here in Montreal and this year was no different.
I truly enjoy attending this conference it is where I have learnt and continue to learn tons within our industry… Oh did I mention it happens annually in Vegas… Even though I’ve been there TONS. I manage always to discover new things to do there… after all it is a continuously evolving city… this time I discover the newly built SPHERE … OMG talk about AI trends… scary and fabulous all together…
Speaking of Loving my industry – they honored me with another shout out for “She’s GOT the Power” regarding women making waves in the Canadian Events Industry – WOWZER thanks EventCombo team!!

Once back, I continued with my teaching and planning client programs.
And guess what … we celebrated another milestone birthday this time it’s on my husband’s side of the family… it was for my sister-in-law Lory. (she hit BIG 50) Their family organized a lovely intimate surprise party for her. It was just LOVELY. You know it’s nice to have the opportunity to celebrate one’s milestone moment.
In the meantime, I did continue the negotiations and sourcing of venues for my clients. This year they decide ‘last minute’ to have the holidays parties – only on a smaller scale that usual… (these last minute decisions created a ton of work for me, only because this late in the game to book venues for the Holidays for semi-large groups, it is HARDER to find appropriate places for them because all has been booked already … but I digress and just do the job … 😊
Also, participated as per every year at several Educational Conferences in and around the Greater Montreal Area. As for the classes it’s more or less as per usual. I am however, finding it a little more challenging this session. The students seem to have run out of steam mid way through the Fall Session … this is just bizarre… I don’t know what’s going on wondering if it’s just me that’s noticing or something else? To be determined…
That is all for October .. see you next month – Ciao Ciao
