The meetings and events industry is powered by people.

The conversations, ideas, collaborations, and connections that happen in rooms like this are what keep our industry moving forward.

A few moments from this year’s Global Meetings Industry Day with the MPI BC Chapter at The Westin Bayshore.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared space, and contributed to the conversation around the future of meetings and events in British Columbia.

Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday morning. 👏

This year’s brought together some of the people helping shape the future of meetings, tourism, and events in British Columbia and the energy in the room was real.

From industry insights to big conversations around growth, impact, and where we’re headed next, the morning was a reminder that this industry does a lot more than put on events. It creates connection, opportunity, and momentum across our province.

Big thank you to our speakers:
• Claire Smith, Convention Centres of Canada
• Adam Radziminski,
• Chris Peters,
• Rohaan Sethna,

And to Roger Haskett of for bringing the perfect energy as our host.

Thanks to everyone who came out, connected, and helped make the morning what it was.

Meetings do more than fill a room. They move an industry.

That’s what Global Meetings Industry Day is all about.

Join us this Wednesday, May 6 at The Westin Bayshore for a morning of insight, connection, and real conversation about where our industry is headed.

Hear from:
• Claire Smith, Vancouver Convention Centre
• Adam Radziminski, Vancouver Convention Centre
• Chris Peters, Tourism Burnaby
