Participants will gain the knowledge needed to assess where and how to drive event experience innovation based on the guiding principles against which we can interpret change\, measure progress\, and create more loyal attendees and advocates of your meetings and events. \nNEW: Looking for a place to relax between events? The Shaw Centre will have Meeting Room 202 available for anyone looking to sit and answer some emails.
