          Connect with fellow event professionals and industry partners  
          Enjoy cocktails, light refreshments, and great conversation
          Take in the atmosphere before kicking off CMEE week

    Conveniently located at Harbour Sixty, just before the week's events begin, it's the perfect way to start CMEE surrounded by friends, colleagues, and the event community.

    And for those event planners who are registered to attend the Reveal Party,  there will be a shuttle to take you to the VIP dock reception party directly from the CanSPEP Social.  Register here for the Reveal Party

    These monthly conversations are curated to spark inspiration, foster connection, and deliver real value. Each session will feature lively, guided discussions spanning personal growth, event trends, and business insights, ensuring something for everyone.

    A well-crafted Request for Proposal sets the foundation for a successful event—but are you clearly communicating the information that truly matters? Join Heather Reid of CECP and fellow CanSPEP members for an interactive discussion exploring the three essential elements every event planner should include in their RFPs to establish expectations, streamline the proposal process, and build stronger supplier partnerships. Share your own experiences, learn from your peers, and walk away with practical ideas that can help you save time, reduce misunderstandings, and receive more meaningful, comparable proposals.

    CanSPEP Connections will, in general, be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 ET for one hour.

    Register today and mark your calendars.

    This is a CanSPEP Planner Members only event and there is no cost to attend.

    Successful events aren’t built on hope—they’re built on preparation.

    In today’s event landscape, the unexpected is becoming more frequent—from security incidents and recent festival-related shootings to extreme weather events, high winds, and rapidly changing conditions that can impact even the most carefully planned experiences. Creating safe, successful events requires more than a great concept; it requires proactive risk management, strong communication, and thoughtful contingency planning.

    Join fellow CanSPEP members for an interactive discussion exploring the practical strategies, processes, and safeguards that help event professionals anticipate challenges, make informed decisions under pressure, and respond effectively when things don’t go according to plan.

    CanSPEP Connections will, in general, be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 1:00 ET for one hour.
