Upcoming Conferences
I’m delighted to be hosting Ontario’s Digital Economy in Huntsville, Ontario – October 1-3, 2008. While there are no Tourism Keys workshop events scheduled this autumn, I’m keeping busy with some exciting projects this fall. It all kicks off with this conference that will showcase inspiring ways technology is transforming communities. I’m really looking forward to the sustainability and community transformation threads that run through this conference.
I’ve never hosted a conference before, so if you’ve got any tips I’d be happy to learn from readers of Tourism Keys.
Ontario’s Digital Economy Conference will be of particular interest to business and sector associations, community and economic development organizations, all levels of government and their agencies, academics, SME’s and ICT companies. If you represent one or more of these groups in Ontario, join me at Deerhurst for this event.
After that I join my pal, Celes Davar for My Manitoulin Experience, Oct 7-9, 2008. Later in October, Nancy Arsenault from Royal Roads, University Faculty of Tourism & Hospitality Management join us in Newfoundland for two more GMIST Edge of the Wedge training workshops. Holy cow, this will be the 15th and 16th times we’ve taught this course over the past four years! These three day workshops promise business and tourism community transformation with Tourism Experience Development and E-Marketing at their core. Yes, anyone in the tourism industry in Canada can attend these 3 day courses in Gros Morne National Park. Of course we keep making the content current, how else could we call it Edge of the Wedge!
I’ve also got a stop in Digby, Nova Scotia for a two day economic development and e-marketing workshop at the end of November.
What I love about these events is that they are hands-on, inspiring and for many people and communities transformational!
So as you see, it’s a busy fall. If you can’t join me at one of these events, I hope you are finding a few things to tinker with as you enhance your Web presence.
ps. I’m presenting An Inconvenient Truth, at the Regional Conservation Exhibition in Callander, Ontario this weekend, September 11th to the 13th. If you are near North Bay this weekend, come out and learn a bit about sustainability and climate change. Living off-the-grid, you’ve got to know this topic is near and dear to my heart.
